Nashville vs Austin Prediction and Betting Tips | September 3, 2022

Nashville will entertain Austin at the GEODIS Park in the MLS Western Conference on Saturday.

The hosts have found some form recently, picking up three straight wins and scoring 11 games. In-form striker Hany Mukhtar bagged a hat-trick as they beat Colorado Rapids at home in their last league outing.

Austin, meanwhile, have struggled recently, suffering two losses in their last three games. They fell to a 2-1 defeat at home against Portland Timbers last time around. Sebastian Driussi continued his fine form, scoring a consolation goal for Austin.

A win will ensure a playoff berth for Austin, while avoiding dropping points is key for Nashville as they also look to keep their playoff hopes alive.

#AustinFC x @TheZebraCo https://t.co/euWH3jdbNb

Austin have not kept a clean sheet in their last five league games and might struggle to contain their free-scoring hosts. Although both teams are expected to score here, the hosts should come out on top in a high-scoring affair.
