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

FC Tulsa welcome San Antonio to ONEOK Field on 7 June 2026 in a pivotal USL League One Cup Group Stage clash in Group 3. With only a small margin separating the sides in the standings, this fixture could go a long way to deciding who progresses, especially with San Antonio already tagged with a “Playoffs” description in the group.

The season record shows San Antonio sitting top of the group on 5 points from 2 matches, while FC Tulsa are just behind on 4 points from their 2 outings. That narrow gap underlines how fine the margins have been so far. Tulsa’s home record in the competition has been mixed, whereas San Antonio have combined defensive solidity with just enough attacking edge to control the early narrative in Group 3.

Played at ONEOK Field, this tie also taps into a rich recent head-to-head history across the USL Championship, US Open Cup and friendlies. Tulsa have often enjoyed home advantage in this matchup, but San Antonio’s current form and perfect defensive record in this competition make this one of the standout ties of the USL League One Cup group stage.

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Key Matchups

Midfield battle and defensive lines

Individual scoring and assist data is not available, but the broader team numbers highlight a clear stylistic clash. FC Tulsa average 1.0 goal for and 1.0 goal against per match in this competition, with their biggest home result a 1-2 defeat and their best away result a 0-1 win. That points to a side that is more comfortable in transition, particularly away from home, and reliant on a midfield capable of breaking lines and supporting counters.

San Antonio, by contrast, have built their start on defensive excellence. They average 1.0 goal scored and 0.0 conceded per game, with biggest wins of 1-0 at home and 0-1 away. Their defensive unit has yet to be breached in the USL League One Cup, and the clean-sheet record (2 in 2) suggests a back line that manages space and game tempo extremely well. The key matchup, then, is between Tulsa’s creative midfielders and San Antonio’s organised defensive block.

Goalkeepers and set-piece pressure

With FC Tulsa yet to fail to score in this competition and San Antonio yet to concede, the goalkeepers and their handling of set-piece pressure will be decisive. Tulsa’s campaign includes one clean sheet and a red card shown in the 76–90 minute range, indicating that discipline late in games has been an issue. Their yellow-card distribution also spikes between 16–30, 76–90 and 91–105 minutes, suggesting a tendency to pick up bookings when the game becomes stretched.

San Antonio, on the other hand, have avoided red cards entirely and spread their yellow cards more evenly, with notable peaks between 31–45, 61–75, 76–90 and 91–105 minutes. In a tight contest with low margins and a likely low total of goals, the side that better manages late-game discipline and set-piece defending is likely to edge the key moments.

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Prediction

Form and underlying numbers point toward a low-scoring, finely balanced contest. FC Tulsa’s group form is “WL”, with 1 win and 1 loss, and they have conceded in half of their matches. Their last-five metrics in this competition show a balanced attack (1 goal per game) but a defence that can be exposed, especially early in matches (a goal conceded between 31–45 minutes in the league stats).

San Antonio arrive with “WW” league form in the group, 2 wins from 2, and a perfect defensive record. Their last-five profile shows 100% form and 100% defensive rating, with 2 goals scored and none conceded. The prediction metrics give FC Tulsa only a 10% chance of victory, with 45% each on draw and San Antonio. The advice leans strongly towards a double chance on draw or San Antonio, combined with under 3.5 total goals, which aligns with both sides averaging 1.0 goal for per game and San Antonio’s defensive strength.

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 lineups available, FC Tulsa are expected to build around a deep defensive pool featuring the likes of L. Batista and A. Cissoko, supported by a creative midfield group including Bruno Lapa, R. Cabral and K. ElMedkhar. The presence of multiple central and wide midfield options allows Tulsa to switch between a back four with a double pivot or a more aggressive three-man midfield. In attack, N. Pierre stands out as a key forward option, with midfield runners expected to contribute goals. Given their tendency to concede at home and rely on a balanced attack, Tulsa may opt for a compact shape, looking to counter San Antonio’s structured build-up.

San Antonio Possible Starting Lineup

Likely key players: J. Batrouni or R. Sánchez (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 profile supports their excellent defensive record in the group. A back line anchored by experienced defenders such as A. Crognale and M. Taintor, along with full-backs like R. Buckmaster or A. Ward, underpins their ability to keep clean sheets home and away. In midfield, players such as J. Hernández and C. Parano provide technical quality and ball progression, while a deep attacking unit featuring A. Greive, L. Haakenson and S. Patiño offers multiple goal threats. Tactically, San Antonio are likely to remain compact, controlling space and tempo, then breaking with purpose, a blueprint that has already yielded a 1-0 home win and 0-1 away win in this competition.

Betting Tips: FC Tulsa vs San Antonio

Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:

• Result Tip: Draw or San Antonio in the double chance market looks the most solid angle. San Antonio have “WW” form, 2 wins from 2, and have yet to concede, while FC Tulsa’s group form is “WL” with a more fragile defence. Prediction metrics give just 10% to a Tulsa win and 45% each to draw and San Antonio, aligning strongly with a conservative double-chance approach.
• Goals Tip: Under 3.5 total goals is strongly supported by the numbers. Both teams average 1.0 goal scored per match in this competition, and San Antonio have conceded 0. The prediction advice explicitly backs a combination of draw or San Antonio with under 3.5 goals, reflecting an expectation of a tight, low-scoring encounter.
• Value Tip: San Antonio to win to nil offers intriguing value from a tactical perspective. They have 2 clean sheets in 2 matches, with 1-0 and 0-1 scorelines already in the group, and their defensive metrics (0.0 goals conceded per game) are outstanding. FC Tulsa, while capable in attack, have conceded 4 in 2 and may struggle to break down such a well-organised back line, especially if San Antonio score first and can manage the game.
