We said: Atlanta United 1-2 Austin FC
Even though they always seem to leave it late, when Austin play with the kind of potency that we are seeing, it is difficult for any side to contain them. When you add to that the fact that the Five Stripes continuously suffer from at least one or two miscues each game, it would not be a surprise to see the Verde and Black win a fourth successive road fixture in what will be the first-ever meeting between both sides.
