Prediction: 2-2
Los Angeles FC
Austin will be aiming to build on a 4-1 win over Portland Timbers when they take on Los Angeles FC at Q2 Stadium. Austin did well to put an end to their eight-game winless run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. The newcomers aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. All Hoesen, Lima, Schoenfeld, Segura, and Sweat have been struggling with injuries of late.
Los Angeles FC, on the other hand, want to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Real Salt Lake. Carlos Vela and Co. are eager to melt Sporting Kansas City’s advantage in the Western Conference, and seeing that they are likely to go for a win in the midweek clash as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered.
