Our prediction for this MLS match:
Los Angeles FC will look to build on their recent home win over New York City when they welcome Austin FC to BMO Stadium. LAFC are a real force at home ground, and with their attacking potential, they will aim for another three points. However, they have some defensive concerns, with Lorenzo Dellavalle sidelined, while both Elias Holm and Maxime Chanot remain doubtful.
Austin FC, on the other hand, have struggled in recent weeks, suffering back-to-back defeats against Portland and Colorado. Their defence has been shaky, and the absence of key defender Julio Cascante only adds to their woes. Los Verdes have also been unconvincing in attack, which raises doubts about their ability to trouble the hosts. Given LAFC’s strong home form and Austin’s struggles on the road, a home win seems the most likely outcome. Anyhow, we predict that the hosts are going to take advantage of Austin’s defensive struggles.
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.
