We said: Austin FC 1-1 Los Angeles Galaxy
It should be a fascinating contest between the top attacking unit in the league (Austin) and the second-best defensive side in MLS (LA). They each have some outstanding attacking players who are x-factors, but neither side allow a lot of chances, with Austin only conceding two goals at home this year, while the Galaxy have only allowed more than one strike in one encounter this season, so all things considered, expect this to be a stalemate.
