Austin FC will be at home on Monday against LA Galaxy in their next Major League Soccer match. The two teams are chasing playoff qualification with Austin in 12th, sitting a place and a point above the Galaxy. Austin FC are in desperate need of a win to halt their current free fall. Josh Wolff’s men have not won in eight consecutive matches across all competitions and have lost six times. Four of those defeats have come in the league leaving them four points adrift of the playoff places. The hosts drew 1-1 with the New York Red Bulls away from home last time out.

LA Galaxy have won four of the five meetings with Austin including the last three. This will have Greg Vanney’s men confident of coming away with all three points on Monday. The Galaxy are also in need of a win to boost their playoff hopes. They have fared way better than their soon-to-be hosts in recent weeks and have avoided defeat in five of their last six fixtures. The Galaxy have won three of those five games with the latest coming last Thursday. The visitors battled to win a seven-goal thriller against Minnesota at home. They now find themselves five points adrift of the top nine with six matches left to play.
