Nashville SC also have a clean bill of health, meaning Samuel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/outright-markets\/mls-2026-golden-boot-betting-odds\/\">Surridge<\/a> and Hany Mukhtar \u2014 who have scored sixteen and thirteen goals respectively this season \u2014 should both start.<\/p>\n<p>This one shapes up as a scrap rather than a shootout. Austin FC sit 13th in the West with a goal difference of -12, the kind of number that points to defensive fragility more than an open game, while Nashville SC sit top of the East on 60 points and have more than enough quality to make the breakthrough count. Expect a tight night at Q2 Stadium, with the smallest mistake from Austin FC enough to settle it in Nashville SC&#8217;s favor.<\/p>\n<p>US viewers can watch Austin FC vs Nashville SC on Apple TV&#8217;s MLS Season Pass.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n.sq-bpg{--sig:#a8e039;--acc:#a8e039;--acc-ink:#0d2a08;--ink:#eaf5e6;--dim:#a7cbb8;--line:rgba(255,255,255,.10);\n

Nashville SC sit top of the East on 60 points, miles clear of the pack, while Austin FC are stuck in 13th in the West with a -12 goal difference. We&#8217;re backing a cagey 0-1 for Nashville SC, with Christian Ramirez working hard but ultimately not finding a way past a well-drilled Nashville SC defense built on a +34 goal difference.<\/p>\n\n<!-- SQ-HUBX-START -->\n<style>.sq-hubx *{box-sizing:border-box}.sq-hubx a.sq-hubx-link{transition:filter .15s}.sq-hubx a.sq-hubx-link:hover{filter:brightness(1.12)}@media(max-width:600px){.sq-hubx .sq-hubx-t{font-size:13.5px}.sq-hubx .sq-hubx-lead{font-size:15px}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"sq-hubx\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#4a1109 0%,#340d08 60%,#210503 100%);border-radius:12px;padding:15px 15px 14px;margin:14px 0;color:#fff;font-family:'Inter',system-ui,-apple-system,sans-serif\"><div style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:7px;font-weight:800;font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.10em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#a8e039;margin-bottom:8px\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 696 696\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\" fill=\"#a8e039\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M473.282 222.72H696.002C696.002 99.6672 596.335 0 473.282 0H250.562C250.562 123.053 350.23 222.72 473.282 222.72Z\"\/><path d=\"M222.72 445.44V0C99.6672 0 0 99.6672 0 222.72C0 345.773 99.6672 445.44 222.72 445.44Z\"\/><path d=\"M473.281 250.563V696.003C596.334 696.003 696.001 596.336 696.001 473.283C696.001 350.231 596.334 250.563 473.281 250.563Z\"\/><path d=\"M222.72 473.277H0C0 596.33 99.6672 695.997 222.72 695.997H445.44C445.44 572.944 345.773 473.277 222.72 473.277Z\"\/><\/svg>Squawka Signal<\/div><p class=\"sq-hubx-lead\" style=\"font-weight:500;font-size:16px;line-height:1.34;color:#fff;margin:0 0 13px\">Our model rates every MLS fixture &mdash; see the numbers behind <b style=\"color:#fff\">Austin FC v Nashville SC<\/b>.<\/p><a class=\"sq-hubx-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/news\/mls\/squawkas-mls-ai-predictor\/?ref=sqhubx-mls-predictor\" style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:11px;text-decoration:none;border-radius:9px;padding:11px 13px;background:#ff8781\"><span style=\"width:33px;height:33px;flex:none;border-radius:8px;background:#2a0503;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#ff8781\" stroke-width=\"2.2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M3 3v18h18\"\/><path d=\"M7 14l4-4 3 3 5-6\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span style=\"flex:1;min-width:0\"><span style=\"display:block;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;color:#2a0503;line-height:1.2\">MLS AI Predictor<\/span><span style=\"display:block;font-size:12px;color:#5c1811;margin-top:2px;line-height:1.25\">Every match this week rated by our model<\/span><\/span><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#2a0503\" stroke-width=\"2.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"9 6 15 12 9 18\"\/><\/svg><\/a><a class=\"sq-hubx-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/soccer-predictions\/over-2-5-goals\/?ref=sqhubx-mls-over25\" style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:11px;text-decoration:none;border-radius:9px;padding:11px 13px;border:1px solid #ff878155;background:#ff87811a;margin-top:8px\"><span style=\"width:33px;height:33px;flex:none;border-radius:8px;background:#ff87812e;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"17\" height=\"17\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#ff8781\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><circle cx=\"12\" cy=\"12\" r=\"9\"\/><path d=\"M12 7v10M7 12h10\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span style=\"flex:1;min-width:0\"><span class=\"sq-hubx-t\" style=\"display:block;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;color:#fff;line-height:1.2\">Over 2.5 Goals predictions<\/span><span style=\"display:block;font-size:12px;color:rgba(255,255,255,.72);margin-top:2px;line-height:1.25\">This week&rsquo;s picks across the league<\/span><\/span><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#ff8781\" stroke-width=\"2.6\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><polyline points=\"9 6 15 12 9 18\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div>\n<!-- SQ-HUBX-END -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Predicted lineups and team news for Austin FC vs Nashville SC, plus our prediction, odds and best bets.
