Prediction published on 27/05/2022, 23:08  by Daniel Ngulu in Major League Soccer Predictions

One win in the last four matches is a run that has seen Austin lose top spot in the Western Conference of the MLS. They will hope to go back on top when they travel to California to face LA Galaxy. Austin are second on 24 points while LA Galaxy are fifth with 20 points ahead of this game. The hosts, LA Galaxy, are coming from a 3-1 win over Los Angeles FC in the US Open Cup, their first win in four matches. They have two losses in the last four matches and no clean sheet in five. In their last five matches, both teams have scored in four. Defensively, LA Galaxy haven’t done well; they head into this game having conceded two or more goals in three of five games. They’ve however failed to score in just one of the five games. At home, they’ve conceded three goals in each of the last two league matches while they have just one clean sheet in the last five.

From a possible 12 points in their last four matches, Austin have collected just four, and this has seen them drop from top spot. In their last game, they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with nine-man Orlando City, their second goal coming in stoppage time. That was the second time in three matches that they conceded two goals in a game, and the seventh straight league outing without a clean sheet. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and both sides have scored in four of the five. This season, Austin have played six away matches in the MLS, and won three. However, they have no clean sheet in the six matches, and they failed to score in one of them. In the remaining five, both teams have scored, with Austin conceding twice in three of the five matches.
