⁠LAFC vs Austin FC Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024

The Black and Gold are without a win in their last three matches.

LAFC have struggled to win games in recent matches. They will be disappointed to lose against arch-rivals LA Galaxy in the last match. Steven Cherundolo’s side who were once leading the MLS Western Conference charts now find themselves in the second spot behind LA Galaxy by seven points. The Black and Gold now have a brilliant chance to return to winning ways as they take on an inconsistent Austin FC side. 

Meanwhile, Austin FC have endured a difficult campaign this season after gathering just 34 points from 28 matches which is a poor return. Los Verdes currently find themselves in the 11th position in the league and will be hoping to return to winning ways after losing their last two consecutive matches. Goal-scoring has been a major problem for the team after managing to score just four goals in their last four matches.

Players to Watch

Olivier Giroud (⁠LAFC)

Olivier Giroud has to be one of the underrated forwards in the last decade. He often doesn’t get the plaudits he deserves. Having played for several top clubs in Europe, Giroud moved to LAFC to take a new challenge.

However, things have not gone according to plan after managing to score just one goal in seven appearances. He is yet to score a goal in the league and will be raring to make an impact here. 

Jader Obrian (Austin FC)

The summer signing from FC Dallas has adapted to his new environment effortlessly as he leads the goalscoring department for the team. Jader Obrian has made 28 appearances for the team this term scoring five goals and assisting another two. He has turned into a versatile player for the team who can operate in several positions in the attacking half.
