Austin FC vs Los Angeles FC Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2025

Austin FC will host Los Angeles FC at the Q2 Stadium on Sunday in game two of the 2025 Major League Soccer playoffs. The hosts will be desperate to get a win to keep their chances of advancing to the conference semifinals alive.

Austin’s poor form continued in game one as they were outmatched in a 2-1 defeat to Sunday's visitors, marking the hosts' fifth loss in their last six games. The Verde and Black finished the regular season in 15th place on the combined league table, qualifying for the playoffs after a three-year absence, but are at risk of early elimination from the postseason should they fail to get a win this weekend.

LAFC had a much more convincing domestic campaign as they finished only six points off the top of the combined league table, but will have their focus set on continuing in such form in the playoffs following a dominant display in game one.

The visitors, who have gotten to the playoff final in two of the last three seasons, will go into this weekend on a remarkable run of form, having won seven of their last nine games.
