Austin FC vs LAFC prediction: Austin to secure a win
Key stats
- Austin FC have won two of their last three matches
- The home side won their last H2H meeting
- The visitors failed to win in four of their last five matches
Correct score prediction: Austin FC 2-1 LAFC

Pre-game odds and win probability: The home side is favoured to emerge victorious.
- HOME: 6/4 (2.50) – 40.0%
- DRAW: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
- AWAY: 17/5 (2.25) -44.4%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As shown by an implied probability of 40.0%, Austin FC are favourites to edge this fixture despite their recent struggle against the visitors.
The Verde and Black are ninth in the Major League Soccer Western Conference standings, and they will be looking to improve their position in the table, with a fixture they are favoured to win.
Considering their recent improvement and their win against the opponents last time out, they stand a good chance of claiming yet another win.

Player to Watch: Denis Bouanga

Denis Bouanga has been the main man for Los Angeles FC this term, having scored eight goals across 16 matches. He was also responsible for scoring the solitary goal his side recorded in the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup, before they exited the tournament. His presence could cause the defence of the home side some trouble in this fixture.
