Team news & squads

Austin FC team news

Austin have been resilient at home, unbeaten in seven of their last eight league matches in Texas, and have claimed six wins in their last 12 at Q2 Stadium. Their attack, led by Brandon Vazquez, has been inconsistent, averaging just 0.8 goals per home match, but the team has shown improvement with two wins in their last three games.

They have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the weekend's clash.

Los Angeles FC team news

LAFC, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency and are winless in the league since early May. Their away form is a concern, with just six points from seven road matches and seven losses in their last 12 away games. However, the squad boasts attacking quality, especially with Denis Bouanga and Olivier Giroud leading the line.

LAFC’s possession-based approach and offensive firepower make them a threat, but defensive lapses have cost them points.
