Austin FC vs St. Louis City: MLS Showdown Preview & Predictions | Extratips
Welcome to Extratips for the big MLS clash: Austin FC hosts St. Louis City, kicking off October 5, 2025, at 00:30 in the USA. Recent head-to-heads tilt toward St. Louis City, but odds from Bet365 have Austin FC as slight favorites at 2.05 for the win, with both a draw and away win at 3.40. Both squads face injury woes—Austin’s attack misses Brandon Vazquez, while St. Louis City are without Cedric Teuchert upfront.
In their last five meetings, St. Louis City has the upper hand, winning three with the most recent result a 1-0 win, alongside two draws and just one Austin win. Austin’s home form is decent (W3, L2 last five), while St. Louis are streaky away (W2, D2, L1 last five).
Strengths for Austin include solid home defense, midfield creativity, and quick wings; weaknesses are finishing without Vazquez, inconsistent pressing, and set-piece vulnerability. St. Louis City is strong in transitions, unity, and direct play but can struggle with away crowds, defending late leads, and possession.
