Before Betting
The FC has seven points fewer than Galaxy, but Steve Cherundolo’s crew has two games in hand, which gives them a realistic chance of reaching first place in the West.
But their current form isn’t promising, we have to say that. After the end of the Leagues Cup, LAFC lost two games and had one tie, failing to score in two of those events.
Furthermore, the most painful setback took place last week, when Galaxy trashed them in El Trafico, 4-2.
With 34 points, five fewer than the teams in the play-in zone, Austin’s margin for error is very, very narrow.
They come to LA pressured by the current situation and the recent back-to-back losses. After beating Nashville on the road, 0-2, they’ve lost at home to Vancouver, 0-1, and in Toronto, 2-1.
Austin’s road offense is the worst in the West, with only nine goals scored. Overall, this team collected 12 points in 14 encounters away from home.
LAFC vs. Austin FC Prediction
FC chases that first place, and after several poor results, this is the perfect chance to get back in the saddle. Austin isn’t a team they should be afraid of, particularly at home, so we pick the home team to win.
