Tune in on matchdays for a one hour pre-match show and one hour post-match show, along with all the action live on AM730. Saturday's pre-match show kicks off at 4:30 p.m. PT at whitecapsfc.com/am730.

Here are Colin’s keys to a big road match at Austin FC.

Defensively sound

Austin have a number of good attacking players, including last season’s MVP runner-up Sebastián Driussi.

But they have only scored one goal in their last three games. We haven’t conceded a shot on target in the last two and a half MLS matches, since Minnesota scored in the 40th minute on March 25.

Defensive organization will be critical.

Impose ourselves

After Saturday, the team will have some time off with a bye the following weekend.

We need to impose ourselves on this Austin team.

We need to really show our presence going forward.

Key players

Austin are a good team.

Our key players need to make the difference in this game.

That will come from quality in the final ball, and more shots on net.
