It’s derby week in Texas on this Matchday 16 when Austin FC hosts FC Dallas next Saturday, June 25 at Q2 Stadium in search of their first win against their backyard rival.
Great game this weekend between two of the Texan teams that are looking to reach the second place in the Western Conference, because Real Salt Lake already played his game so it will remain in 28 points.
Austin returned to victory last week with its 0-1 victory against CF Montreal thanks to a goal from Argentine Maximiliano Urruti and reached 27 points and third place in the conference.
On the Dallas side, the situation is different. They lost at home to the Vancouver Whitecaps (0-2, Lucas Cavallini and Déiber Caicedo) and have only summed 3 points from the last 12, losing ground in the league. Now they are 4th with 25 units.

Why Bet on Austin FC
Austin comes into this game with the spirit of winning a tough game last week and with the illusion of achieving the first place in the Western Conference, if Los Angeles FC loses its game this weekend (vs. New York Red Bulls).
Sebastián Driussi is the team’s top scorer and second in the tournament with 8 goals, in addition to the fact that the team, with 29 goals, is the second that has scored the most (LAFC has 30).
This could be the first time that Austin beats Dallas, since the young Texan team that entered the MLS in 2021, has only played 3 games against its rival on duty, and has lost in all 3.
Los Verdes have 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, scoring 29 goals and receiving 18. Daniel Pereira Gil receive a red card last game and will be absent in this match.
Why Bet on FC Dallas
Dallas comes from more to less. Nico Estévez’ team lost last weekend at home with the Vancouver Whitecaps (0-2) and a few days ago they had also lost in Canada (2-1). In addition, Minnesota United also beat them (1-2) and could only defeat 1 team in their last four games: Orlando City SC (1-3).
To highlight the season of its captain, Jesús Ferreira, tournament top scorer (9), and who also has 4 assists, being one of the most effective players in the MLS.
The Cowboys are fourth in the Western Conference with 25 points, the product of 7 wins, 4 draws and the same number of losses. If they won the derby (and remained undefeated against their rival) they would rise to second place.
Final Betting Analysis: Austin FC vs. FC Dallas
It is one of the most attractive matches of Matchday 16, if not the most. A young derby but one that has raised a lot of expectations and that has two teams that are fighting at the top and dream of the title. For us the winner will be Austin FC.
The favorite is the local, as we see on MyBookie.ag, which puts a Moneyline of +107 against the +225 of his rival, and we also think that way.
As we said, these teams have met 3 times and have always been wins for Dallas: 2-0, 3-5 and 2-1.
Go for a straight win in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on win at +107, you will gain $7 for a total payout of $107.
