San Diego FC vs Austin FC: Predictions, odds, picks & stats

San Diego FC vs Austin FC formations

San Diego FC host Austin FC at Snapdragon Stadium on Wednesday, May 13, kicking off at 9:30 PM ET.

SDFC sit 13th in the Western Conference with 13 points, while Austin FC are 10th in the West on 14 points — just one point separating these two sides in a tight lower half of the table. Both clubs are in real danger of slipping further from the playoff places, making this a must-win scenario. See the MLS hub for the full standings context.

San Diego FC have failed to win any of their last nine MLS matches — taking just four points during that time — and are without Tverskov, Morgan, Sisniega, and Boateng for this fixture, a significant absentee list that further limits their options. Austin FC have just two wins in their last 10, and most recently drew 2-2 with Minnesota United. They will be without Jayden Nelson and Robert Taylor through injury. Despite the absences, Verde carry more momentum and cohesion than their hosts right now.

Marcus Ingvartsen remains the key player for SDFC — eight goals in a struggling side — while Myrto Uzuni and Christian Ramirez give Austin a credible attacking threat. The MLS standings show this pair are squarely in the fight to avoid the lower half of the West.

Myrto Uzuni to score anytime+225 @ bet365⭐⭐⭐Myrto Uzuni has five goals in 2026 and gives Austin a consistent goal threat on the right flank against a porous San Diego defense.
Both Teams to Score — Yes-200 @ bet365⭐⭐⭐Ingvartsen has been San Diego’s standout with eight goals despite their poor form; Verde have conceded at least twice in five of their last seven.
Over 2.5 Goals-225 @ bet365⭐⭐SDFC have conceded 20 in 12 games; Austin have scored in each of their last seven. A multi-goal game is likely.
Correct Score: 1-2 Austin FC+1400 @ bet365⭐⭐A narrow Austin victory with Ingvartsen bagging one for San Diego is a plausible and attractive correct-score call.

Potential Match-Winners

  • Marcus Ingvartsen (San Diego FC): Eight goals in 12 games make Marcus Ingvartsen the most prolific player in a struggling SDFC side; almost all of San Diego’s attacking threat runs through him, and he is capable of producing moments of quality regardless of team form.
  • Myrto Uzuni (Austin FC): Five goals in 2026 establish Myrto Uzuni as Austin’s most consistent attacking threat; his directness and ability to finish from range make him Verde’s first-choice goalscorer option.
  • Christian Ramirez (Austin FC): Four goals from Christian Ramirez provide Austin with a focal point in attack — his combination play with Uzuni in the final third gives Verde a genuine two-pronged forward line for this road trip.

Head-to-Head

San Diego FC only joined MLS in 2025, so the H2H record between these two sides is limited. SDFC won 2-0 in their most recent clash, following on from a 2-1 Austin FC win in their first meeting. Both sides won their home games last season.

Recent Form

San Diego FC — D D L L L

San Diego have been in freefall recently, and even when performing well against top opposition, have let leads slip to draw against LAFC (2-2) and Seattle (1-1) in their last two. It’s going to take a huge effort to save their season from here.

Austin FC — D W W L D

Austin have overcome a bump to regain their form, losing just one of their last five and taking seven points from their last three games. That includes coming from 2-1 down to draw 2-2 away at an impressive Minnesota United side last time out. 

San Diego FC vs Austin FC Prediction

Nine without a win, multiple absentees, and a home record that has not been convincing — San Diego FC have enough problems to make Austin FC clear favorites here. Verde are the more organized and better-stocked side for this fixture and should take three points. Back Austin to win, led by Uzuni and Ramirez.
