Interesting LA Galaxy vs Austin Picks & Betting Lines

With Chicharito returning to the starting XI, LA Galaxy will try to hurt Austin on the 23rd of April at Dignity Health Sports Park in a can’t-lose game. Stay tuned to find out if that will be the case according to our LA Galaxy vs Austin betting tips.

Chicharito to Score Anytime

LA Galaxy’s attacking tally is laughable this season. Coach Greg Vanney’s side barely scored five goals two of which were against Los Angeles last week. The culprit to blame? Chicharito.

Team captain Javier Hernandez Balcazar was injured for six of LA Galaxy’s seven league games. If he were on the pitch last week, we’re sure he would’ve made a difference.

With 18 goals to his name, he was among the top finisher last season and it wouldn’t be too surprising to see him catch up to the top scorers in the 2023 campaign as well.

Draw

A draw has a 24.5% chance of success if the bookies’ calculations are correct. We’re sure that the scales are balanced on Sunday as there’s really not much that separates the two teams.

Sure, LA Galaxy will enjoy comfy home-field support at Dignity Health Sports Park but did it amount to anything positive since the start of the season? No, the team is struggling to perform and is only a few points away from the bottom of the table. The head-to-head figures are in favor of LA Galaxy but Austin have the momentum and that’s what counts.

LA Galaxy odds: -120 – 51.5%

Draw odds: +295 – 24.5%

Austin odds: +300 – 24.0%

Team captain Chicharito returns for the home team and we think a goal from LA Galaxy’s chief finisher at +187 (34.8%) is worth the risk seeing as he’ll want to catch up to the top finishers this season. LA Galaxy are the bookies’ expected winners at -120 (51.5%) so Chicharito shouldn’t have too many issues in sliding it past Austin’s goalkeeper.

LA Galaxy vs Austin Lineups & Team News

LA Galaxy

With three league losses on the spin, LA Galaxy are bound to get a positive result against Austin on the 23rd of April, right? Sure, they lost the Los Angeles derby last week but the result on the scoreboard after 90 minutes of soccer shouldn’t have been 2-3 in favor of Steven Cherundolo’s boys. LA Galaxy had a staggering 66% possession and were dictating the play.

Predicted lineup – Klinsmann (GK), Edwards, Caceres, Neal, Calegari, Brugman, Puig, Boyd, Delgado, Rodriguez & Chicharito

Austin

Unlike their rivals, Austin already won a few games and are slowly climbing the ladder to success. Coach Josh Wolff’s boys bored the hell out of the fans at Q2 Stadium last week when the match versus Vancouver Whitecaps ended with a goalless tie but we’re sure that the manager and his players will want to make it up to the fans with a solid performance at Dignity Health Sports Park.

Predicted lineup – Stuver (GK), Gallagher, Vaisanen, Ring, Lima, Wolff, Pereira, Fagundez, Driussi, Rigoni & Urruti

Player to Watch: Sebastian Driussi

The 2022 MLS top goalscorer award race was a wild one with Sebastian Driussi, Nashville’s Hany Mukhtar, and Philadelphia Union’s Daniel Gazdag taking turns at the top. However, after 37 matches played, it was Sebastian Driussi who poached the prize as he averaged 0.68 goals per game.

His 25 goals last season were an impressive feat but we’re sure that an ambitious player such as him will certainly try to do better in the 2023 MLS campaign.
