Prediction: 3-2
Austin FC
Los Angeles Galaxy will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Vancouver Whitecaps and DC United when they welcome Austin FC to their Dignity Health Sports Park on Thursday. LA Galaxy have been showing signs of improvement of late, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to revive their playoffs hopes. Greg Vanney is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated DC United at the weekend.
Los Verdes, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered. It has to be noted that Austin FC have already suffered six defeats on the road this season. Brandon Vazquez remains in the recovery room, but the 26-year-old should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last meeting at the venue, Los Angeles Galaxy recorded a 2-1 win over Austin FC.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles Galaxy):
Los Angeles Galaxy are probably the most famous American soccer club. The club have been participating in the MLS since 1996 and San Jose Earthquakes are considered their bitterest rivals. A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past, but, no doubt, David Beckham is the club’s most significant star. The former Manchester United star played for LA Galaxy from 2007 to 2012 and he scored 18 goals in 98 appearances in the league for the club.
Fellow England international Steven Gerrard is yet another Premier League ace who joined LA Galaxy. Stevie G signed a $9 million deal with the club in June, 2015. One year before he arrived to Los Angeles, the Galaxy won their fifth MLS Cup, with the team beating New England Revolution (2-1) in the final of the tournament, but winning the CONCACAF Champions League in 2000 is considered the club’s biggest success. The MLS outfit outplayed Olimpia of Honduras in the title game, with Ezra Hendrickson scoring the winning goal ten minutes before the final whistle.
Los Angeles Galaxy play their home games at StubHub Center, the stadium that was opened on June 1, 2003. The capacity of the venue is 27.000.
