Austin has two more games, including the one against Los Angeles on Saturday, to push for a spot in the 2023 MLS play-offs.
However, if the Oaks have snapped their 10-game winless run in all competitions with a 3-0 league win over DC United, the Falcons have also returned to winning ways with a 5-1 victory against Minnesota United.
Moreover, Steve Cherundolo's side is in a better position to secure their play-off berth.
