ℹ️ Team News: Los Angeles FC

Erik Dueñas (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Eddie Segura (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Brian Rodríguez (Hamstring Injury) won’t be available for Los Angeles FC gaffer Steve Cherundolo.

It seems likely that Los Angeles FC will probably employ a 4-1-3-2 formation featuring John McCarthy, Franco Escobar, Antonio Leone, Mamadou Fall, Diego Palacios, Ilie Sanchez, José Cifuentes, Latif Blessing, Kellyn Acosta, Carlos Vela and Cristian Arango.

🗞️ Team News: Austin FC

In an otherwise healthy group of players, there is only the one fitness issue for the Austin FC manager Josh Wolff to be concerned about. Jhohan Romaña (Muscle Injury) won’t be in action. Cecilio Domínguez will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We are inclined to think that Austin FC seem most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system using Andrew Tarbell, Zan Kolmanic, Ruben Gabrielsen, Julio Cascante, Hector Jimenez, Jhojan Valencia, Alexander Ring, Diego Fagundez, Sebastián Driussi, Ethan Finlay and Maximiliano Urruti.

🔮 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Los Angeles FC have it within them to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the other end, Austin FC will be up against it to score themselves but we do fancy them scoring as well.

We’re therefore expecting to see a 3-1 margin for Los Angeles FC at the end of the 90 minutes.
