FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Key Matchups

FC Tulsa Attack vs San Antonio Back Line

Without individual scorer data, the battle is framed by unit strength. Tulsa’s cup statistics show they average 1.0 goal per game, with 2 goals scored in total and none of their matches seeing them fail to score. They have found the net both home and away and tend to strike late, with their league goals concentrated between minutes 61-90.

San Antonio’s defence is the standout unit in this group. Across their USL League One Cup fixtures they have yet to concede, with 0 goals against and an average of 0.0 per game. They have recorded 2 clean sheets from 2 matches and limited opponents to very few clear chances. Tulsa’s ability to break down that back line at ONEOK Field could define the contest.

Midfield Battle: Tulsa’s Creativity vs San Antonio’s Control

Tulsa’s overall cup profile shows a side that concedes as much as it scores (4 for, 4 against in the group), and their defensive metrics (2.0 goals against per home game in the group) hint that they rely heavily on their midfield to drive the game forward. Their league statistics show 2 goals conceded overall with an average of 1.0 per match, and they have not yet failed to score, suggesting a proactive midfield approach.

San Antonio’s midfield has been the platform for their perfect “WW” league form in the cup. They average 1.0 goal for per match and 0.0 against, combining controlled possession with defensive solidity. Their biggest wins in the competition — 1-0 at home and 0-1 away — indicate a disciplined unit that manages games rather than chasing high scorelines.

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Prediction

Everything points towards a cagey, tactical battle at ONEOK Field. San Antonio arrive with perfect “WW” form in the cup, 2 clean sheets, and a defensive record that has yet to be breached in this competition. FC Tulsa, however, have a strong recent H2H record and have already beaten San Antonio 1-0 away in the US Open Cup on 2 April 2026.

The prediction metrics lean slightly towards San Antonio, with the winner indicator favouring them on a “Win or draw” basis and both draw and away win given 45% probability, compared to just 10% for a home victory. The goals projection is conservative, aligned with under 3.5 goals. Given San Antonio’s defensive strength and Tulsa’s ability to make life difficult at home, a low-scoring draw or narrow away win looks the likeliest outcome.
