This is a regular-season MLS Next Pro meeting between two sides without a clear favourite. CheckLive's model has no favourite for North Texas SC against Austin FC II, which suggests the gap is small and the match could go either way, including a draw. Both teams are looking to build momentum in the league.
North Texas SC come in with two wins and three defeats from their last five, beating Tacoma Defiance 3-1 and San Jose Earthquakes II 1-0, but losing to Portland Timbers II (0-3), LA Galaxy II (1-6) and Los Angeles FC 2 (3-6). Austin FC II have won four of their last five, with victories over Vancouver Whitecaps FC II (4-1 and 4-0), Sporting Kansas City II (1-0) and San Jose Earthquakes II (5-4), their only defeat in that run coming 5-6 at Houston Dynamo 2.
The head-to-head is perfectly balanced: eight previous meetings, four wins each and no draws. The most recent was a 2-0 Austin FC II win in May 2026. With both defences conceding plenty in recent games and no side holding an edge, a draw is a real possibility.
