Currently sitting in second place in the Western Conference with a record of 14-7-6, LAFC snapped a four-game streak of scoring one or zero goals despite their recent loss. With one of the best home records in the West—30 points from 14 matches—LAFC presents a formidable challenge for Austin FC.
An Austin victory would not only disrupt LAFC's strong home performance but also build momentum ahead of their Texas derby against Houston Dynamo FC on Saturday night.
