Our prediction for this MLS match:
Los Angeles Galaxy will be looking to make amends for a heavy 3-0 loss to Houston Dynamo when they host Austin to their Dignity Health Sports Park on Monday. LA Galaxy have been struggling to find their best form of late, but this game could be the turning point for Javier Hernandez Chicharito and Co. Both Jorge Villafana and Adam Saldana are sidelined with injuries, while aforementioned attacker Chicharito should be recalled to the starting XI.
Austin, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Orlando City. Josh Wolff’s troops, though, are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on the hosts. Both Freddy Kleemann and Jhohan Romana are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Jonathan dos Santos):
While playing at a youth tournament in France, Jonathan Dos Santos was spotted by FC Barcelona scouts, who were delighted with what they saw. The Barca chiefs decided to bring Jonathan and his brother Giovani to La Masia, with both passing the trial.
The Mexican midfielder, who was born in Monterrey on April 26, 1990, scored 6 goals in 81 appearances for Barcelona B from 2009 to 2012, but he played no more than 14 games for the senior team in the Spanish top flight. On July 9, 2014 Jonathan dos Santos moved to Villareal and he scored his first La Liga goal in December against Deportivo La Coruna.
The Mexico international played an important role at Villarreal until 2017 when he decided to sign a contract with MLS club Los Angeles Galaxy. The biggest success of his career, though, is winning the UEFA Champions League title in the 2010/2011 season with Barca. Unlike his brother, Jonathan’s preferred foot is right.
