Los Angeles FC vs Austin prediction, odds and how to watch

Austin took all three points at Vancouver despite losing the disciplinary battle comprehensively, as Christian Ramirez's brace was cancelled out and then some by a Whitecaps side that imploded with five yellow cards and a red. Brian White's equaliser and Austin's relentless pressure proved the difference.

Los Angeles FC ended a five-match winless run with a commanding 2-0 victory over New York Red Bulls, who offered almost nothing going forward and fully deserved to leave empty-handed.

DC United and Los Angeles FC played out a goalless draw at Audi Field, with both sides creating big chances and squandering every single one of them. A point each, and neither deserved more.
