LA Galaxy and Austin meet in a league game where both sides still need points to close out the season as well as possible. The hosts sit 10th with 41 points, while the visitors are 14th with 34 points. Neither team comes into this one entirely at ease, and there is plenty to follow from both sides' most recent results. LA Galaxy are unbeaten in three straight, but their defending is still a clear problem, having just been thrashed 2-6 at home. Austin, meanwhile, lost their last match and have been conceding easily of late, losing heavily in several games. Both teams still carry some attacking threat, especially late in matches, when they tend to score often. This game should open up early, because neither side is solid at the back and both need goals. Austin will likely sit back and wait to counter, but if LA Galaxy dominate possession and keep pressing, the game could end close or with a narrow home win, which is the path that keeps the visitors in it until the final minute. The first thing to watch after kickoff is whether LA Galaxy immediately push forward or let Austin settle first.
