On Wednesday evening, the postseason journey begins for LAFC. With Steve Cherundolo's men taking on Austin FC in front of a home crowd. The hosts know all about playoff success under Cherundolo, who masterminded LAFC's 2022 MLS Cup victory, but they cannot afford to do anything stupid here, let's be real. This is a best-of-three tie, so if either team tastes defeat in the first game, it won't be the end of the world, but it would be a huge blow for the hosts, who can give themselves a chunky advantage by winning this.
BMO Field is a difficult place to go, but Wednesday's visitors have already won at the Los Angeles venue this season, winning by one goal to zero back at the start of the regular campaign. They couldn't possible repeat that trick, could they?

Our Los Angeles FC vs Austin FC Prediction
At the end of the day, the visitors know that going to BMO Stadium and opening up would be suicide, so we can expect Nico Estévez to try and keep things tight, which may just lead to a low-scoring game. We shouldn't forget that such tactics paid dividends for the visitors, not once but twice during the regular season, with the Austin boys winning by a goal to zero both home and away against LAFC.
It's also worth noting that for all their quality, the hosts haven't been going too crazy in terms of goals in recent weeks, with only one of their last four games containing more than two goals.
Our LAFC vs Austin Pick: Under 2.5 Goals.
