Austin is once again in a weak series, after losing 0:2 in their last match and now has eight matches without a win in the last ten rounds. The problems in attack are becoming more and more obvious, as the hosts find it increasingly difficult to even reach a goal. The lack of fresh ideas going forward puts into question their chances of breaking the negative trend against a tough opponent.
LAFC experiencing difficulties in attackThe guests are also not in their best period - the defeat to Vancouver in the previous round ended their streak of nine consecutive matches without a loss. However, Los Angeles traditionally performs well against Austin, having lost only once in the last seven encounters between the two teams. Nevertheless, their defense has been the more stable part of the game lately, and their matches are often contested with few goals.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsFive out of the last six matches for both teams in the championship ended with under 2.5 goals, and in four out of the last five direct clashes between Austin and LAFC, it was the same. A new tough battle with few opportunities is shaping up, where one goal could be decisive.
