It's early days in the Major League Soccer and both LA Galaxy and Austin are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- Austin have the most points (6) away in Major League Soccer
LA Galaxy and Austin should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
LA Galaxy form and stats
Perfect Major League Soccer season at home so far for LA Galaxy 2 wins from 2 appearances.
Galaxy's previous game was a Major League Soccer match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Los Angeles FC (placed 10th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Seattle Sounders (0-3).
Early season league goal statistics from LA Galaxy's 2 home games: 5 goals, 3 conceded.
Austin form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most points (6) away in Major League Soccer, on their Major League Soccer travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Austin, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Sporting KC (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Minnesota United with the score of 1-0.
Austin goalkeeper Brad Stuver had a great day against Sporting KC, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided. Late heartbreak for Austin in the Sporting KC match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
Austin have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. 5 goals have been conceded by Austin in these games.
