Betting on LA Galaxy
The LA Galaxy is going through a horrific moment after losing 2-3 in the derby against Los Angeles FC. They’ve suffered three consecutive defeats, and the worst part is that they haven’t won a single game in 2023 yet.
The only player ruled out for this match is Jonathan Bond, who’s nursing a shoulder injury and is expected to return by the end of April. Playing as hosts, the LA Galaxy have one draw and two losses, scoring four goals and conceding six. They’re hoping to finally secure their first victory of the current MLS season against Austin FC.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): Jonathan Klinsmann; Lucas Calegari, Kelvin Leerdam, Jalen Neal, Raheem Edwards; Gastón Brugman; Marco Delgado, Riqui Puig, Memo Rodríguez, Tyler Boyd; Dejan Joveljić.
Betting on Austin FC
Austin FC started off strong this season but has been losing steam in recent games, with four winless matches under their belt. In their previous game, they tied 0-0 against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Coach Josh Wolff will be missing players Zan Kolmanic and Julio Cascante for this game. Kolmanic is out due to a knee ligament tear, while Cascante has a groin problem. Playing away from home, Austin FC has one win and two losses, scoring two goals and conceding six.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Brad Stuver; Nick Lima, Alexander Ring, Zan Kolmanic; Jon Gallagher, Daniel Pereira, Jhojan Manuel Valencia Jimenez, Ethan Finlay; Emiliano Rigoni, Gyasi Zardes, Sebastian Driussi.
JefeBet Prediction
The last time these teams faced off, LA Galaxy took home a 4-1 victory with goals from Efraín Álvarez, a brace from Dejan Joveljic, and another from Javier Hernández. Diego Fagundez scored for Austin FC.
At JefeBet, we believe this LA Galaxy vs Austin FC match is a golden opportunity for the California team to secure their first win, especially considering that Austin FC is lacking in confidence due to their recent poor results. So, bet on the LA Galaxy to come out on top in this match-up!
