LA Galaxy Preview – Can Galaxy make it four wins from five?
Greg Vanney’s LA Galaxy made a winning start to their season, edging a five-goal thriller at Inter Miami. Galaxy followed that up with another 3-2 win, this time over New York Red Bulls at Dignity Health Sports Park.
LA were brought back down to earth on matchday three, though, suffering a heavy loss at Seattle Sounders. Nevertheless, Vanney’s troops were back to winning ways last weekend, winning the Los Angeles derby. Jonathan dos Santos hit the all-important winner in the derby.
LA Galaxy will be looking for a far better campaign this time around. They could fire themselves into second place in the Western Conference table this weekend with three points on home turf. The hosts are priced at 11/10.
Austin Preview – Can Austin leave LA with a positive result?
After three years, the wait was finally over for Austin, who played their first ever MLS match last month. Josh Wolff’s boys kicked off with a 2-0 defeat to Los Angeles at the Banc of Californian Stadium.
With the long-awaited first game out of their system, Austin secured their first three points, beating Colorado Rapids 3-1 away from home on matchday two. They followed that up with a 1-0 victory at Minnesota United. Unfortunately for the Green, they crashed to a 2-1 defeat at Kansas City last time out.

Key Facts – LA Galaxy vs Austin Betting Tip
- Galaxy have picked up nine points from a possible 12
- Austin have opened up with two wins and two defeats
- This will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs
With this one taking place at Dignity Health Sports Park, Galaxy will fancy their chances of securing maximum points in front of their home fans. Austin have started well, though, and Wolff’s boys look more than capable of causing LA problems. With that in mind, back the hosts to win by one goal at 10/3.
Javier Hernandez has started the season in superb style, scoring an impressive six goals in just four MLS games. The former Manchester United & Real Madrid man is 32 these days, but Chicharito is showing no signs of letting up. We are backing Hernandez to open the scoring in this one.
