FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips

FC Tulsa welcome San Antonio to ONEOK Field in a pivotal USL League One Cup Group Stage clash that could go a long way to deciding the final standings in Group 3. With only a handful of group games to play, the margins are already tight and every point is carrying knockout-stage implications.

San Antonio arrive as group leaders with 5 points from 2 matches and a “Playoffs” tag attached to their current position, underlining that they sit in the qualification zone. FC Tulsa, second with 4 points from 2 games, are just a single point behind and firmly in contention. A home win would likely flip the group dynamic, while anything else keeps San Antonio in the driving seat.

Played at ONEOK Field in USA, this matchup also continues a busy calendar between these two clubs across league, cup and friendlies. With San Antonio’s perfect defensive record so far in the competition up against a Tulsa side that has both scored and conceded freely, this shapes up as a classic tight group decider with knockout-level intensity.

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio — Tale of the Tape

• Position: 2 vs 1
• Points: 4 vs 5
• Goals For: 4 vs 4
• Goals Against: 4 vs 1
• Clean Sheets: 1 vs 2

The group table underlines how finely balanced this fixture is. FC Tulsa have taken 4 points from their 2 matches, scoring and conceding 4 goals for a neutral goal difference. Their record suggests an open approach, capable of creating chances but also vulnerable at the back, particularly at home where they have conceded twice in one outing.

San Antonio, by contrast, have been ruthlessly efficient. With 5 points from 2 games and a +3 goal difference (4 scored, 1 conceded), they combine solid attacking output with outstanding defensive control. Their clean-sheet record in the competition — 2 shutouts from 2 according to their wider stats — reinforces the impression of a side that manages games superbly, whether home or away.

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Key Matchups

FC Tulsa Attack vs San Antonio Defence

FC Tulsa’s attacking profile in the USL League One Cup shows 2 goals from 2 matches, averaging 1.0 goal per game both home and away. They have failed to draw a blank so far, with their biggest away win recorded at 0-1 and their home defeat coming 1-2. That pattern points to a team that can create, but often leaves itself exposed.

San Antonio’s defensive numbers are elite at this early stage. They have not conceded a single goal in 2 fixtures in the competition, with their goals against average sitting at 0.0 both home and away and 2 clean sheets in total. Their biggest wins — 1-0 at home and 0-1 away — underline a pragmatic, low-scoring style built on shutting the door first and foremost. Tulsa’s ability to break down that structure will be central to the outcome.

FC Tulsa Discipline vs San Antonio Discipline

Discipline could also shape the flow. FC Tulsa’s card profile shows yellow cards spread across the 16-30, 46-60, 61-75, 76-90 and 91-105 minute ranges, plus a red card between 76-90 minutes. That late-game red highlights a risk of losing composure in tight contests, something that could be punished in a group decider.

San Antonio, meanwhile, have accumulated yellow cards primarily from 31-45, 61-75, 76-90 and 91-105 minutes, but with no red cards recorded. They play on the edge but have so far avoided the costly dismissals that can tilt matches. In a match where margins are slim and the under 3.5 goals angle is prominent, staying at full strength for 90 minutes may be decisive.

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Prediction

Everything points towards a tight, tactical battle. San Antonio arrive with a perfect “WW” league form in this competition, 2 wins from 2 and no goals conceded, while FC Tulsa’s “WL” record reflects inconsistency but also attacking potential. Historically, Tulsa have held the edge in recent head-to-head meetings, including a 1-0 extra-time win away in the US Open Cup on 2 April 2026.

However, the prediction metrics lean slightly towards San Antonio avoiding defeat, with a 45% chance assigned to both the away win and the draw, and only 10% for a home victory. The recommended angle is a combo of draw or San Antonio and under 3.5 goals, in line with both teams’ current scoring averages of 1.0 goal for per game and San Antonio’s perfect defensive record.

FC Tulsa Possible Starting Lineup

Likely key players: T. Henry or A. Tambakis (GK); L. Batista, A. Cissoko, A. Clarke, O. Damm, Ian, D. Pierre, H. St Clair, L. Stauffer (Defenders); Bruno Lapa, R. Cabral, G. Colli, K. ElMedkhar, Jeorgio Kocevski, S. Lukic, Z. Siranga, R. Somersall, B. Sparks, J. Webber (Midfielders); N. Pierre (Forward).

With no confirmed lineup data, FC Tulsa are expected to build around a deep defensive pool and a midfield featuring creators such as Bruno Lapa and K. ElMedkhar. The squad profile suggests flexibility between a back four and a more conservative setup, which may be necessary against San Antonio’s efficient attack. Given their tendency to concede at home in this competition, structural discipline and protection in front of the back line will be key.

San Antonio Possible Starting Lineup

Likely key players: R. Sánchez or J. Batrouni (GK); D. Barbir, N. Blanco, R. Buckmaster, A. Crognale, E. Cuello, Angel Mercado, A. Souahy, M. Taintor, S. Suárez, A. Ward (Defenders); L. Berrón, Curt Calov, D. Erofeev, J. Hernández, D. Hernandez, M. Maldonado, C. Parano, L. Walker (Midfielders); A. Greive, L. Haakenson, E. Johnson, D. Pacheco, S. Patiño, C. Sorto, L. Urrutia (Forwards).

San Antonio’s squad is balanced across the pitch, with an experienced defensive core and a varied attacking unit. Their Cup record of 2 wins, 2 goals scored and none conceded indicates a compact, controlled structure that prioritises clean sheets. Expect a disciplined back line shielded by hard-working midfielders, with forwards like A. Greive and S. Patiño offering outlets in transition and the capacity to nick a low-scoring win.
