Before kickoff
The table setting

In the pre-match Western Conference standings, Los Angeles FC are sixth with 42 points from 29 games, while Austin are 13th with 31 points from 28 games. LAFC are 11 points ahead.
Home strength meets away weakness
Los Angeles FC have won 8, drawn 3 and lost 3 of their home games this season. They have scored 26 home goals, conceded 12 and kept 8 clean sheets. Austin’s away record is 3 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses, with 16 goals scored, 32 conceded and 1 clean sheet. Those figures make the defensive side of Austin’s performance a clear test at Banc of California Stadium.
