Our prediction for this MLS match:
Los Angeles FC will be eager to end their dreadful winless run when they host Austin FC at BMO Stadium. Despite their recent struggles, LAFC remain a formidable side, particularly in front of home fans, where they often dominate possession and create chances. While they will be without Lewis O’Brien due to suspension, LAFC have enough firepower to make life difficult for the visitors.
Austin FC, on the other hand, have been anything but impressive on the travels this season. To make things even worse, important players such as Sebastian Driussi, Brendan Hines-Ike, and Jhojan Valencia are suspended, further weakening their chances. Given their shaky form away from home and the significant absences, Austin FC could struggle to keep up with LAFC’s intensity. Considering Los Angeles FC's home advantage and Austin’s struggles on the road, the hosts are favored to return to winning ways
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles FC):
Seeing that Los Angeles FC will be competing in Major League Soccer from the 2018 season, the club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad. Several high-profile players joined the club in the winter of 2018, with Mexican ace Carlos Vela being the biggest name to sign a deal with LAFC.
The new expansion team will host their rivals at Banc of California, the stadium which is planned to be opened on April 29, 2018. The venue should hold up to 22,000 spectators. Los Angeles FC will be coached by Bob Bradley in the 2018 MLS campaign and they will be wearing black and gold kits in the USA professional soccer league. Speaking of their bitterest rivals, there will be fireworks when Los Angeles FC face LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer.
District 9 Ultras and Black Army 1850 are considered the club's biggest supporters groups and it has to be noted that they used to support Chivas USA. Los Angeles FC were founded on October 30, 2014.
