We said: Los Angeles FC 3-0 Austin FC
Los Angeles FC have made a very solid start to the season, while Austin so far look nowhere near the level they were at in the 2022 campaign, so we expect a comfortable home victory.
LAFC have won four of the six previous meetings between the two sides, running out 3-0 winners back in October, and it would not be a surprise to see a repeat of the same scoreline.
