First plays third place in the Western Conference when Los Angeles FC take on Austin FC at the Banc of California Stadium. The home team are leading the table with 23 points while the visitors are in third place with 20 points. Los Angeles FC suffered just their second loss of the season when they lost 2-0 away to Colorado Rapids. They have been in brilliant form only losing twice in their last 14 matches across all competitions. Los Angeles have an even more impressive home record going unbeaten in their last nine matches, with seven wins and two draws. Their success this season has been built on their superb tally of 23 goals in just 11 matches. Los Angeles FC have been scoring an average of over 2 goals per match. They have won all three of their previous matches against Austin FC.

Austin FC will be desperate to return to winning ways after losing their last two matches. Prior to this slump they had won four league matches in a row. This season they have struggled for consistency and have always lost the match following two consecutive wins across the different competitions. Austin FC have had a mixed bag of results away from home winning two matches, losing two and drawing one match. They did however lose their last away match against Colorado Rapids. They will need to tighten up their defence on the road as they have failed to keep a clean sheet away from home this season and they are up against the most potent attack in the league.
