San-Diego Zest vs Austin 14 May 2026 Prediction

San Diego is going through a difficult stretch and has not won any of its last nine MLS matches. The hosts now face Austin, which is competing for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Last season, these teams split their meetings with one home win each. Which side has the better chance this time?

San Diego

The youngest team in MLS is in a prolonged slump. San Diego’s last league win came back in early March. Its overall winless run across all competitions has now reached 10 matches, with four draws and six losses.

The hosts play an open, attack-minded style but often leave too much space in midfield. Through 12 matches, San Diego has scored 20 goals and conceded 20.

Austin

Austin has moved closer to the top nine in the Western Conference after two wins and one draw in its last three matches. The gap to the playoff zone is now two points.

The visitors have lost only once in their last five league matches, and that defeat came against conference leader San Jose Earthquakes.

San Diego vs Austin Prediction: Austin Double Chance at 2.22

• Main Pick: The market’s strong support for the home side looks questionable. San Diego is one of the coldest teams in the Western Conference right now and has gone a long time without a win. Austin, meanwhile, has improved recently and has started picking up points more regularly in its push for a playoff place. San Diego’s last home win came at the very beginning of March. The pick is Austin double chance at 2.22.
• Goals Pick: Both teams have enough attacking intent, but both also leave space defensively. San Diego and Austin each score and concede well over one goal per 90 minutes on average. Both teams have scored in 58% of San Diego’s MLS matches and in 67% of Austin’s league games. The pick is both teams to score — yes at 1.55.
