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

FC Tulsa and San Antonio face off at ONEOK Field in a pivotal USL League One Cup Group Stage clash that could go a long way to shaping Group 3. With only two games played so far, the margins are tight, and every point matters in the push for the Playoffs. San Antonio arrive as group leaders, while Tulsa are trying to turn a solid base into genuine qualification momentum.

ONEOK Field has already hosted this matchup once in 2026, a cagey 0-0 draw in the USL Championship on 15 March 2026, and another low-scoring contest would not surprise. San Antonio sit top of the group with 5 points from 2 games, backed by a perfect defensive record so far in this competition. FC Tulsa, on 4 points from 2, are just behind and know that a home win would flip the group dynamic completely.

Stats suggest a tight, tactical encounter rather than a shootout. FC Tulsa’s group campaign has been inconsistent (form string “WL”), while San Antonio’s has been ruthlessly efficient (“WW”). With San Antonio already tagged in the standings description as “Playoffs” bound at this stage, Tulsa are effectively chasing down the current benchmark in Group 3.

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Key Stats

• FC Tulsa are 2nd in USL Cup 2026 Group 3 with 4 points from 2 matches, scoring 4 and conceding 4.

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: FC Tulsa 1 vs San Antonio 2

The group table underlines how fine the margins are. FC Tulsa have taken 4 points from their 2 matches, with 4 goals scored and 4 conceded, reflecting a more open, volatile profile. San Antonio, by contrast, also have 4 goals scored but only 1 conceded, turning similar attacking output into a superior points haul of 5 and the top spot in Group 3.

Home and away splits are revealing. Tulsa’s only home outing in this competition ended in defeat (1-2, goals for 1, against 2), while their away win has kept them in contention. San Antonio have been flawless both home and away, winning once in each setting and not conceding a single goal. With San Antonio already flagged in the standings description as in the “Playoffs” zone, FC Tulsa are effectively trying to drag them back into a live qualification battle by exploiting home advantage at ONEOK Field.

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Key Matchups

FC Tulsa attack vs San Antonio back line

Without individual scoring data, the clash is best framed in unit terms. FC Tulsa have averaged 1.0 goal per game in this USL League One Cup (2 goals in 2 matches in the wider stats context) and have yet to fail to score in the competition. However, their goals against figure of 2 in 2 games, and an average of 1.0 conceded overall, point to a side that takes risks and leaves space.

San Antonio’s defence has been the standout unit so far. They have not conceded in 2 group matches, with 2 clean sheets and an average of 0.0 goals against. Their biggest wins in this competition context are 1-0 at home and 0-1 away, underlining a game plan built on control and minimal defensive errors. Tulsa’s attacking unit will need to find a way to disrupt a back line that has been perfect in the group so far.

Midfield control: FC Tulsa structure vs San Antonio efficiency

FC Tulsa’s overall form string in the competition (“LW”) and a biggest loss of 1-2 at home suggest a midfield that can create but is vulnerable to transitions, particularly early in games, with one goal conceded between 31-45 minutes. San Antonio’s “WW” form and a defensive record of 0 goals conceded in the group speak to a compact, disciplined midfield screen that protects the back line and keeps games at their preferred tempo.

With Tulsa’s card profile showing multiple yellow cards and even a red in late phases, discipline in midfield could be a decisive factor. San Antonio, with no reds and a more controlled yellow-card distribution, may be better placed to manage tight moments and protect a narrow lead if they get in front.

Head-to-Head: Last Meetings

These sides are extremely familiar foes, with a long run of tight, often low-scoring contests across league, cup and friendlies. FC Tulsa have generally had the better of recent meetings, especially in competitive fixtures, but San Antonio have remained difficult to beat at Toyota Field.

• 2 April 2026: San Antonio 0-1 FC Tulsa (US Open Cup)
• 15 March 2026: FC Tulsa 0-0 San Antonio (USL Championship)
• 14 February 2026: FC Tulsa 0-0 San Antonio (Friendlies Clubs)
• 12 October 2025: FC Tulsa 2-0 San Antonio (USL Championship)
• 29 May 2025: San Antonio 1-1 FC Tulsa (USL Championship)

FC Tulsa vs San Antonio Prediction

Analysis points to another tight, tactical battle. Recent head-to-head games have been dominated by FC Tulsa, who have not lost any of the last five listed meetings, winning twice and drawing three. They have also kept three clean sheets in that run. However, current group form tilts toward San Antonio. They come in with a perfect “WW” record in the USL League One Cup, 2 wins from 2, 2 clean sheets and a controlled attacking output of 1 goal per game.

The prediction metrics give San Antonio and the draw equal weight at 45% each, with FC Tulsa rated at just 10% for a home win. The recommended angle is a double chance in favour of San Antonio (win or draw) combined with a low-goals expectation, with advice specifically pointing to a draw or San Antonio result and under 3.5 total goals. Given San Antonio’s defensive solidity and Tulsa’s uneven home record in the group, a narrow away edge in a low-scoring match looks the likeliest scenario.

FC Tulsa Possible Starting Lineup

GK: A. Tambakis; Defenders: L. Batista, A. Cissoko, A. Clarke, O. Damm; Midfielders: Bruno Lapa, R. Cabral, G. Colli, K. ElMedkhar, Jeorgio Kocevski; Forwards: N. Pierre.

FC Tulsa have depth across the pitch, with three goalkeepers available including A. Tambakis and experienced defensive options such as L. Batista and A. Cissoko. In midfield, creative profiles like Bruno Lapa and R. Cabral can help Tulsa break down San Antonio’s compact block, while K. ElMedkhar and G. Colli offer additional technical quality. In attack, N. Pierre is one of several options, supported by versatile midfielders who can push high. Without confirmed lineups, tactical flexibility is a strength, but Tulsa must balance their attacking intent with greater defensive security, especially given their higher goals-against figure in the group.

San Antonio Possible Starting Lineup

GK: R. Sánchez; Defenders: D. Barbir, N. Blanco, A. Crognale, M. Taintor; Midfielders: L. Berrón, Curt Calov, J. Hernández, C. Parano; Forwards: A. Greive, S. Patiño.

San Antonio’s squad is built around a solid spine. In goal, R. Sánchez brings experience, protected by a deep pool of defenders including D. Barbir, N. Blanco and M. Taintor. The midfield group features technical and energetic options such as L. Berrón, Curt Calov and J. Hernández, while C. Parano offers creativity between the lines. In attack, players like A. Greive and S. Patiño give San Antonio multiple ways to threaten, whether through direct runs or combination play. The overall profile fits their current record: structurally sound, with enough attacking quality to edge tight games by single-goal margins.

Betting Tips: FC Tulsa vs San Antonio

Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:

• Result Tip: Back San Antonio double chance (win or draw). With San Antonio given a 45% chance to win and the draw also at 45%, against only 10% for a Tulsa victory, the percentage split strongly favours the visitors avoiding defeat. Their “WW” league form and 2 clean sheets in the group reinforce that angle. (No odds data available for this market.)
• Goals Tip: Under 3.5 total goals. The advice explicitly highlights a combination of draw or San Antonio with under 3.5 goals, and both sides have been involved in low-scoring group matches (San Antonio averaging 1.0 scored and 0.0 conceded; Tulsa averaging 1.0 scored and 1.0 conceded). Several recent head-to-heads have finished 0-0 or 1-0, supporting a cautious goals position. (No odds data available for this market.)
• Value Tip: San Antonio to win to nil. San Antonio have 2 clean sheets from 2 in this competition and 0 goals conceded overall, while their biggest wins are 1-0 at home and 0-1 away.
