Recent form
Austin FC
Austin FC have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable run of three consecutive victories sandwiched between two losses. Despite their current 6th position in the league table, their goal-scoring record has been relatively modest, averaging less than a goal per game in their last six matches. Defensively, they have been somewhat inconsistent, conceding seven goals in six games, including a heavy 5-1 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps in their most recent outing. However, they have managed to keep three clean sheets during this period, which is a positive sign. The team's matches have tended to be low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. Their recent form suggests a team capable of grinding out results, but struggling for consistency, particularly in attack.
LA Galaxy
LA Galaxy are currently experiencing a challenging period, having failed to secure a victory in their last seven matches across all competitions. Their recent form shows a concerning trend of draws and losses, with no wins in their last six games. The team's defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game whilst only managing to score once per match themselves. Despite their difficulties, the Galaxy have shown some resilience, managing to draw three of their last six matches, including a notable 0-0 result against Tigres UANL in the CONCACAF Champions League. Their most recent outing, a 1-1 draw with Houston Dynamo, suggests they may be finding some stability, albeit without breaking their winless streak. The Galaxy's current 15th position in the league table, with just 3 points from 8 games, underscores the urgency for improvement in their upcoming fixtures.

Recent home/away form
Austin FC
Austin FC have shown impressive form at home recently, with a notable run of four consecutive wins before their most recent two matches. Their defensive record stands out, conceding only 0.67 goals per game in their last six home fixtures, including two clean sheets. The team's attacking prowess is evident, scoring an average of 1.33 goals per game. Interestingly, there's a perfect balance in their goal-scoring trends, with 50% of matches seeing both teams score and an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals. The highest-scoring game in this period was their 3-1 victory over Louisville City in a friendly, showcasing their ability to dominate opponents at home. Despite a recent draw and loss, Austin FC's overall home form remains strong, contributing significantly to their current 6th position in the league with 13 points from 8 games.
LA Galaxy
LA Galaxy's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last six matches on the road. The Galaxy are currently on a run of three consecutive away defeats, which began with a loss to Vancouver Whitecaps and continued through to their most recent match against Tigres UANL in the CONCACAF Champions League. Despite their struggles, the Galaxy have managed to find the back of the net in four of these six away games, including a high-scoring 3-2 loss to Tigres UANL. However, their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded in all six matches and shipping an average of 1.83 goals per game. The team's inability to keep a clean sheet away from home is a significant concern, as is their goal difference of -5 over this period. With both teams scoring in 67% of these matches and an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals, LA Galaxy's away fixtures have certainly been entertaining, if not successful for the team themselves.
