How to avoid ties?

Wondering if any of you have any tips on how to avoid the frequent ties that seem to happen, especially towards the end of the league season. I often end up with 5-6 ties that really put the brakes on a great season making it just an okay one.

This seems to really happen the last week when the stronger teams just start having tons of ties. Last game today I was behind the whole match until the 90th when my team made a ridiculous shot to end up 1-1. It just seemed obvious. It feels like the AI is set up for a stronger team to frequently tie on the road even when the other manager isn’t there.

Thanks for any input. I’d like to have a stronger team in the win column.
