Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for Austin is 6.82, compared to 6.76 for Houston Dynamo. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Austin's highest-rated starter is B. Stuver (7.44), while Houston Dynamo's best-rated player is J. McGlynn (7.49).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of Austin have contributed 7 goals and 1 assists this season, led by M. Uzuni (5G). Houston Dynamo's starters account for 3 goals and 3 assists, spearheaded by J. McGlynn (2G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

Austin deploy 4 defenders rated 6.76 on average, against Houston Dynamo's 4-man backline averaging 6.54. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Austin field 4 midfielders averaging 6.67, versus Houston Dynamo's 3 rated 6.69. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Austin start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.93, compared to 3 for Houston Dynamo averaging 6.85. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 85% for Austin and 83% for Houston Dynamo. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

Austin's starters have collected 13 yellow cards this season, compared to 12 for Houston Dynamo. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of Austin's starting XI is 29.1 (youngest: O. Wolff (21), oldest: I. Sanchez (35)), while Houston Dynamo average 27.4 (youngest: J. McGlynn (22), oldest: J. Bond (32)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

Austin's starters average 9 league appearances each, versus 8 for Houston Dynamo. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
