Ferrari driver Kimi Räikkönen won last year's race and he has since moved to Alfa Romeo.
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen finished second, while Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes secured a third spot finish.
Bottas' teammate Lewis Hamilton is still placed at the top of the Drivers’ Championship standings and he needs a top-eight finish in Austin in order to defend his title.
The Finnish driver is confident that he can secure a win at the Circuit of the Americas where he has struggled in the past.
“There were many tracks in the past where I struggled but I managed to turn around many around already into my strong ones,” Bottas said on Crash.net.
“It’s what I’m planning to do here this weekend, because last year I was just lacking lap time both in qualifying and the race.
Mercedes have clinched the Constructors' Championship title thanks to their drivers Hamilton and Bottas' impressive displays this year.
Ferrari and Red Bull are placed second and third respectively on the Constructors' Championship standings with three races left.
