Austin FC and Nashville SC meet on Wednesday night in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup final, with each side hoping to lift their first silverware ever. Austin FC has been on a magical run, with 11 matches unbeaten, including seven victories. Their defense has been tough, allowing just 13 home goals in 15 MLS matches. Brad Stuver ranks second in the league in saves, backed by a defense that makes life tough on opponents. Nashville SC, on the other hand, has struggled on the road, with just 17 points from 16 away matches in the league. They've not gained a single point in their last six road trips, and their last road result was a narrow 1-0 win over DC United in late June. Austin FC's moneyline is +160, which is too good to pass up, considering their recent form and Nashville's struggles on the road. Austin FC will likely let Nashville have the ball and hit them on the counter, where they've been vulnerable. Recently, it's been late goals that have undone Nashville, allowing stoppage-time winners to both Nashville and Cincinnati. Austin FC defeated Seattle in their last home match with a late goal, and they beat Minnesota in the final seconds of extra time in the semi-final. A same-game parlay could include Austin FC to score multiple goals, as Nashville has conceded multiple goals in six of their last eight away matches. Finals tend to be cagey in the opening stages, and only one of Austin's last five matches have seen a goal scored inside the first half hour. Austin FC's Brandon Vazquez and Mikkel Desler are out injured, while Nashville SC's Ahmed Qasem, Jonathan Perez, and Wyatt Meyer are also out.
