Los Angeles team news and form: Can LAFC bounce back?
Sure, the team did get a valuable 3-0 win in the CONCACAF Champions League, but the 5-2 defeat in Major League Soccer was a disgrace. Coach Brian Schmetzer’s players were unrecognizably good and it will be interesting to see if LAFC’s players will be able to show their true colors against Austin.

Austin team news and form: Key defender out for Austin
Julio Cascante will not play for the visitors, which is a huge plus in favor of our professional Los Angeles vs Austin prediction. The 31-year-old defender suffers a minor muscle injury which will take him out of play for coach Nico Estevez a while longer.
Predicted lineup: Stuver (GK), Desler, Svatok, Hines-Ike, Biro, Ilie, Wolff, Bukari, Pereira, Vazquez & Uzuni

Player to watch: Denis Bouanga
It’s fair to consider Denis Bouanga as the player to watch in our professional Los Angeles vs Austin prediction, as he did score a brace for his team in the CONCACAF Champions League match against Wilfried Nancy’s Columbus Crew a few days ago.
Second player to watch: Jeremy Ebobisse
Jeremy Ebobisse scored one of the goals for Los Angeles this season. We expect to see him among coach Cherundolo’s starters at BMO Stadium on the 15th of March.
