Los Angeles FC host Austin in an MLS game where both sides still need points to finish the season where they want to be. The hosts sit 6th and need a win to firm up their playoff spot, while Austin are 13th and still need to collect as many points as they can before the season ends. The hosts have been up and down lately, winning 2-0 then losing 1-3, mixed with draws and defeats, before closing with a 1-1 draw in their latest match. Overall the attack is serviceable but not consistent, while Austin are not much different, drawing 3 of their last 5, thumped 1-4 in their latest match, but they have still scored in several recent games. Defence is the area that has cost them 51 goals in 28 matches. This game is likely to see the hosts dominate more and try to push forward, but Austin tend to sit back and wait to counter. If the hosts score first the game could open up, but if Austin hold out for a long time it could become a tight contest that ends with a result that is not far apart.
