Austin FC vs Los Angeles FC Prediction & Betting Tips (13 October)

Austin FC and Los Angeles FC are set to clash in a pivotal MLS showdown on October 13, 2025, with both sides eager to shift their momentum. Austin FC, currently sitting 16th in the league table, have struggled to find consistency, recording just one win in their last three outings. Their lone victory came against Sporting Kansas City, but subsequent 1-0 defeats to Portland Timbers and Colorado Rapids have exposed vulnerabilities in their attacking setup. Head coach Josh Wolff faces mounting pressure to reinvigorate El Tree’s offensive rhythm, especially with key forward Sebastián Driussi yet to hit peak form this season.

On the other side, Los Angeles FC enter the fixture with a more promising trajectory. Despite recent setbacks—a 5-2 loss to Seattle Sounders and a narrow 2-1 defeat to Columbus Crew in the Champions Cup—they’ve shown resilience, advancing in continental competition via away goals. Under Steve Cherundolo’s guidance, LAFC have notched 15 wins this season and boast a formidable goal tally of 60. The Black and Gold’s attacking trio, led by Denis Bouanga, continues to be a menace for opposing defenses, and their home form at BMO Stadium has been particularly dominant, winning six of their last seven league matches there.



Historically, LAFC have had the upper hand in this matchup, remaining unbeaten against Austin FC in their last six meetings. However, playing away from home introduces a different dynamic, and Austin’s defense—anchored by veteran Matt Hedges—will need to be at its sharpest. The midfield battle could prove decisive, with Austin’s Daniel Pereira tasked with disrupting LAFC’s fluid transitions. Both teams have shown a tendency to concede, suggesting a high-scoring affair may be on the cards, especially given the recent trend of over 2.5 goals in their matches.

While the odds slightly favor Los Angeles FC, the unpredictable nature of MLS and Austin’s home advantage make this a compelling contest. Taking into account current form, squad depth, and tactical setups, we’re leaning toward a narrow 2-1 victory for Los Angeles FC. Expect a tense finish, with Austin pressing late but ultimately falling short against a more clinical LAFC side.

• Summary: Austin FC is going head to head with Los Angeles FC starting on 12 Oct 2025 at 23:00 UTC at Q2 Stadium stadium, Austin city, USA. The match is a part of the MLS .
