Austin will welcome the Seattle Sounders to Q2 Stadium in a MLS Western Conference match on Sunday. They are separated by four points in the league standings, with the visitors leading in fifth place.
The hosts saw their winning streak in the league end after two games last week as they fell to a 2-0 away loss to Dallas. They conceded a goal apiece early on in either half. They bounced back with a 2-1 win over Minnesota United in the US Open Cup semifinals on Wednesday.
The Sounders are winless in their last two league games. After a 2-2 draw against LA Galaxy last week, they suffered a 3-1 away loss to Inter Miami earlier this week. Obed Vargas scored the consolation goal for them in the 69th minute after they had conceded three times.
