Austin FC vs LAFC Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | MLS 2025

Los Verdes emerged victorious when these sides last faced each other.

Austin FC are all set to lock horns with LAFC in the Western Conference fixture of the 2025 Major League Soccer. This is going to be an interesting clash between these clubs, which will take place at the Q2 Stadium.

Los Verdes will be at home, but this will not make things any easier for them. Austin FC have not been able to perform well in their last few games, which will keep them under pressure. They are coming in after facing a 1-3 defeat at the hands of St. Louis City in their previous MLS match.

On the other hand, the Black and Gold have come up with some top performances recently and are looking in very good form at the moment. Los Angeles FC secured an easy 2-0 win against Toronto FC in their last Major League Soccer fixture. Despite being the visiting team, LAFC will be feeling confident.

Players to Watch

Owen Wolff (Austin FC)

The 20-year-old American midfielder, who can also play as a winger, will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side in the attacking front. In 32 Major League Soccer fixtures this season, Owen Wolff has 13 goal contributions. He can control the midfield well, but must also look to contribute more and more in the final third.

Denis Bouanga (LAFC)

Denis Bouanga has shown some top performances this season and is not looking to slow down at the moment. The 30-year-old forward has scored 24 goals and also has eight assists to his name in 30 MLS appearances this season. He is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence.
