On Saturday, there's Major League Soccer action coming our way from Q2 Stadium, where it must be said that the Austin FC boys have a sizable opportunity to record a positive result against an Los Angeles Galaxy team that is out of shape following a heavy defeat away from home in the CONCACAF Champions Cup during the week.
The hosts come into this game in decent shape following back-to-back ties, and the regained their offensive mojo last weekend, scoring twice on the road in Miami. Off the back of that effort, the men from Q2 Stadium really should fancy themselves to hurt a Galaxy team that is not only struggling defensively, but comes into this game having had much less time to rest and prepare. On this basis, I'll be betting on the home team to score at least two goals in this game. Will you?

Our Austin FC vs Los Angeles Galaxy Prediction
This looks like a much better opportunity for the hosts too shift through the offensive gears than the early odds would have us believe. Against a tired LA Galaxy team that endured a difficult game in Mexico during the week, the hosts should be capable of doing serious damage here, so much so that they're definitely worth betting on to notch at least twice at odds of -135.
Not only will the hosts be fresher, but the visitors really do struggle to keep things tight on the road, which lead me to conclude that they'll flounder defensively here.
Our Austin vs LA Galaxy Pick: Austin to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
