Betting Tips Los Angeles FC vs Austin FC – 7/1 MLS Play-Off Special, Analysis and Predictions

Beginning their playoff adventure in the early hours of Thursday, Los Angeles will host Austin at BMO Stadium.

Although LAFC could have ultimately settled for a bronze medal in the Western Conference this month, the Falcons are considered a top contender in the play-offs and will be sure to claim a lead in the first leg here.

While Austin might have crawled to the finish line this season, Thursday’s guests continued to show some glaring problems and Nico Estevez’s men face a heavyweight challenge in California.

Two camps that find the atmosphere in their respective camps at the polar opposite, we’ve taken a look at some of the most attractive tips for creating bets between Los Angeles and Austin.

The dominion of Los Angeles in California

Although Los Angeles might have fallen to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Austin on October 13, Steve Cherundolo’s men have shown that their toothless performance was nothing more than a blip.

Last seen at BMO Stadium securing a routine 2-0 victory against Toronto earlier in the month, LAFC suffered just one loss in any of its last eight regular season matchups.

Closing out September with a stellar 3-0 rout against St. Louis, Los Angeles is considered a top contender here and will look to make a statement in the play-offs here.

Continuing to impress in California, Thursday’s hosts have won their last three consecutive MLS appearances in front of their own fans by an aggregate score of 7-1.

It is also worth noting that Cherundolo’s team has failed to score consecutive goals at BMO Stadium for the first time since mid-July.

Son has an immediate impact on MLS

Ending his decade-long stay in north London by helping Tottenham win an iconic Europa League crown, Son Heung-min has enjoyed a sensational start to his life in the United States.

While there may have been plenty of surprises across Europe over the summer as the South Korean superstar completed a £20million move to California, Son has certainly hit the ground running.

The former Spurs captain, who found the net in California last time out, scored an astonishing nine goals in his first 10 MLS appearances and also recorded a further three assists.

Already underscoring his status as California’s new king, the 33-year-old also scored in five of his previous six MLS games.

Forming what has become a record partnership with Gabonese international Denis Bouanga, Son will be confident in exploiting a leaky Austin defense here.

A monumental challenge for Austin

While Austin might have caused a major upset earlier in the month when they pulled off that stunning 1-0 win against LAFC, Thursday’s guests have failed to find any sort of stability.

Closing out his regular season adventure with a 2-1 loss in San Jose, Estevez could have a lot of pressure on his shoulders in Texas.

Seeing their U.S. Open Cup adventure a 2-1 loss against Nashville on October 2, Los Verdes have lost four of their five previous meetings against MLS opponents.

Including a 3-1 loss at Real Salt Lake on September 28, Austin has also continued to show some lingering struggles outside of Q2 Stadium.

In addition to losing each of their previous three consecutive MLS appearances away from Texas by an aggregate score of 7-2, it is also worth noting that Austin has lost four of its last five top-flight meetings on the road.
