The newest MLS members Austin FC will visit Colorado Rapids for their second match of the season this Sunday after tasting defeat in the US top flight in the Western Conference. Hosts Colorado started their campaign with a 0-0 draw with Dallas as Austin suffered a 2-0 loss against LA FC. It is Colorado’s first home game of the season and they haven’t lost their home opener since 2013. The draw in the opening games was Colorado’s second clean sheet in the last seven matches and they’ll be hoping for more of them, especially at home, where they managed just three wins last season.

While Austin suffered what would look like a big loss, it wasn’t entirely comfortable for LA FC, as the newcomers gave them a run for their money, with 56% possession for the Texas side. This was just the first of seven away matches for Austin FC and they better settle fast in the MLS. Their run in preseason was impressive but here they face a bigger challenge against the big boys in the MLS. They played six friendly matches and won four while losing one and drawing the other.
