LAFC started the season as the betting favorite to win this MLS Cup, and the team has lived up to expectations; it couldn't be any other way, given their roster that combines MLS veterans with players who were big stars in Europe.
LAFC's MLS season couldn't have started better, as goals from Ordaz, Martínez, and Bouanga secured a 3-0 victory over the reigning champion, Inter Miami. Since then, they've maintained their momentum; most recently, they defeated St. Louis City with a brace from Canadian Mathieu Choiniere, and that didn't distract them from continuing their run in the Concacaf Champions League. They traveled to Costa Rica to secure a victory on the road and eliminate Alajuelense.
With odds around +100, LAFC is favored to win on the road at Q2 Stadium against Austin FC. The Texas team is looking for revenge after their playoff loss in the Round of 16 of the last MLS season, where stars Son Heung-Min and Bouanga combined to defeat Austin FC 6-2 on aggregate.

Our Austin FC vs Los Angeles FC Prediction
Austin's previous season was a success, an improvement over 2014, when they missed out on the play-in tournament by one spot. LAFC, after four games, is the only team in the entire MLS that has not yet conceded a goal; it is obvious that the team managed by Dos Santos had a furious start to the season, so their odds to win it on Saturday have value.
