Austin will host Los Angeles at the Q2 Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the league this term and sit ninth in the Western Conference with 26 points from 20 matches.
They were beaten 2-0 by 10-man Seattle Sounders in their last match, conceding a goal in either half and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the contest.
Los Angeles have also had their struggles in the league this season, although they have multiple games in hand to climb up the table. They endured a difficult run of results in the FIFA Club World Cup group stages last month and marked their return to MLS action with a 1-0 home defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps.
