LAFC, Union Showdown

A late night Saturday kickoff in Los Angeles features the top teams from each conference as LAFC hosts Philadelphia Union. Through nine games, LAFC leads the West by two points, with 22 total points. Meanwhile the Union have 18 points after nine games and sit atop the Eastern Conference by one point.

The Union don’t have a win in their last three games but they have just one loss on the season. The defense has been spectacular with eight goals allowed in nine games but they haven’t scored more than two goals in a game yet this season. The Union have scored just one goal in four straight games and Daniel Gazdag leads the team with four goals on the season.

LAFC meanwhile are all about scoring goals. They have scored seven times in the last three games and 12 goals scored in five home games this season. LAFC have won four of those games at home, with a draw in the fifth.

Former MVP Carlos Vela leads the way with four goals and has added two assists. Jose Cifuentes and Ryan Hollinshead scored off the bench in last week’s 2-0 win over Minnesota United. So far this season, 12 different players have scored for LAFC and they average over 16 shots per game.

Austin Trying to Prove Themselves

Sitting in second place in the West, this is a big weekend for Austin FC to show they are for real The Black and Verde host third-place LA Galaxy after coming from behind to beat Houston Dynamo last week.

Austin is led in scoring by April Player of the Month Sebastian Driussi’s seven goals and they have won four matches in a row. As an expansion team last year, Austin didn’t get to 20 points until game 26 in September and this year they have 20 points after nine games.

The Galaxy fell into third place, one point behind Austin, last weekend when they lost 1-0 at Real Salt Lake. The losses ended a four-match unbeaten streak and VAR overturned a late equalizer from Dejan Joveljic.

Last year the Galaxy lost 2-0 at Austin but won the home game between the teams by the same score. Chicharito hasn’t scored for the Galaxy in three straight starts, his second longest MLS drought. The Mexican striker had five goals in his first six games this season.

Meanwhile, Montreal is in fourth place with 14 points and could finish the weekend in second.

Orlando has dominated this matchup recently with five wins in the last seven games against Montreal. In fact they haven’t allowed a single goal in those five wins and Montreal has just one win. Earlier this season they won 2-0 at home and their last trip to Canada resulted in a 2-0 win in November.

Montreal are unbeaten in their last six games with four wins and two draws. They beat Atlanta United 2-1 last weekend to match their best unbeaten streak in club history. Djordje Mihailovic leads CF Montreal with four goals and four assists while Kei Kamara has nine career goals against Orlando.
