Extending Early Dominance
Since Austin FC II joined the league in 2023, North Texas SC holds a 2-0-1 record when hosting them at Choctaw Stadium. In total, North Texas has only lost once in six meetings between the two sides since Austin’s inception. Head coach John Gall’s side will look to continue that dominance Saturday night in its only home match of June and the only meeting between the teams in Arlington this year.
Bouncing Back
North Texas SC’s last outing a 2-0 road loss to St. Louis was not the team’s best performance. Gall’s side will look to use that disappointment as motivation to reignite the form it had before the defeat. Saturday’s match against Austin provides an ideal bounce-back opportunity, with several favorable factors in play: a return home and a rivalry atmosphere. A win could help the team regain momentum heading into the midpoint of the season.
Austin FC II
The in-state rival from the capital is led by third-year head coach Brett Uttley and currently sits 13th in the Western Conference standings. Austin enters the match following a 1-0 road loss to Colorado Rapids 2. The last meeting between these two sides ended in a 1-1 draw at Parmer Field, with North Texas earning the extra point in the post-match shootout. Austin’s main attacking threat is forward Peter Grogan, who leads the team with three goals, one of which came against North Texas earlier this season.
