Preview
Welcome to our Austin FC vs Los Angeles prediction for the Audi 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs! As the second game of this best-of-three series kicks off at Q2 Stadium on November 3, 2025, at 01:45 GMT, both teams are set for a high-stakes battle. With sports betting fans eyeing the latest betting odds and searching for value, this preview breaks down the head to head stats, tactical trends, and our own AI-powered tips. Whether you’re a die-hard supporter or just looking for smart betting advice, you’ll find everything you need right here.
The story so far: Los Angeles FC leads the series 1-0 after a 2-1 win at home, but Austin FC returns to their fortress, Q2 Stadium, where they’ve been tough to beat in playoff matches. The last time these two met in Austin, the home side edged a 1-0 victory—proof that this rivalry is anything but predictable.
Austin FC, under coach Nico Estevez, is known for a disciplined defensive approach, often keeping games tight and relying on set pieces. Their attack has been less prolific, especially with Brandon Vazquez and Diego Rubio sidelined. Owen Wolff’s versatility and Brad Stuver’s heroics in goal are crucial, while Jon Gallagher’s timely goals can’t be overlooked.
Los Angeles, managed by Steve Cherundolo, brings firepower with Denis Bouanga (24 goals) and Son Heung-Min (nine goals in just 10 games). Their strategy? Create space for Son and isolate Bouanga in one-on-one situations. With Hugo Lloris in goal and Nathan Ordaz popping up with key strikes, LAFC looks well-balanced despite a few injuries.
Let’s get to the numbers that matter for sports betting fans. The current betting odds are:
