Austin FC vs Los Angeles FC Predictions

• Los Angeles FC are winless in their last seven competitive away games, conceding at least two in six of them.
• Austin FC have scored six times in their last three home matches.

LAFC defensive woes to continue

Los Angeles FC’s swift exit from the Club World Cup teed them up for defeat on their return to MLS action, and their defence could be in for another rough ride when they visit the Q2 Stadium.

This weekend’s visitors are winless in their last seven competitive away games and have conceded at least two goals in six of those fixtures. They have averaged 2.25 goals conceded per away game in the MLS this season, and Austin FC have shown signs of improvement lately.

The hosts put two past New York Red Bulls in their last home match and have notched six times in their last three in all competitions at the Q2 Stadium.

Los Angeles FC have conceded exactly twice in each of their last three away games, with each of those ending 2-2, while Austin FC have drawn three of their last four MLS home games.
