Form: MNUFC (6-3-2, 20 points) ended a two-game winless lull with a 3-2 win at Columbus last Saturday. After a seven-match skid without a victory, Austin (3-4-4, 13 points) has won two straight by identical 2-0 score lines over Houston and St. Louis in the last two weeks.

Storyline: Loons left wingback Anthony Markanich scored his third goal of the season last week, adding to the nine he tallied in MLS last season. Meanwhile, his twin brother Nick Markanich joined Houston Dynamo from Castellon in La Liga 2 in Spain and has yet to score in MLS.
Anthony said he doesnât like to talk about himself. âIâd rather have other people talk about me,â he said. But Ant will bring up his goals to his sibling.
