Austin Bold FC are winless in three road games early in the season, but they're back at home now for three games in 10 days: hosting Phoenix on Wednesday, April 17, at 7:30pm; then El Paso on Sunday, April 21, at 4pm; and Real Monarchs on Friday, April 26, at 7:30pm. They need to get their offense untracked – they've scored just two goals in their first four games, both by Brazilian veteran Kléber Giacomazzi. Get tickets at AustinBoldFC.com.
