Los Angeles FC marked their home return with a win in their last game and they will be hoping to build on that when they get to host New York City FC. Going to the game, both sides have eight points; Los Angeles ninth in the Western Conference and New York City sixth in the Eastern Conference. This will be the second of four straight home matches for Los Angeles and they are unbeaten in the first three of the season, bagging seven points from them. They are coming from a 2-1 win over Colorado Rapids, with Diego Rossi scoring both goals for Los Angeles, making it three goals in the last three matches for the Uruguayan. Los Angeles opened their season with a win over newcomers Austin FC but went on a four-game winless run before the last match. They have no clean sheet in their last five matches, and twice in the last three matches, they’ve conceded two goals.

No team has scored more goals than New York City FC in the Eastern Conference. They go to this game eyeing a return to winning ways after suffering a 2-1 home loss to Columbus Crew. That was their second loss in the opening six league matches and the third straight winless outing in the MLS. They’ve also failed to keep a clan sheet in their last three matches. New York City have had mixed results in their away league matches, winning one, drawing one and losing one so far this season. They aren’t the strongest performers when playing away from home; their run has been patchy and in their last 11, they’ve managed just four wins.
