LAFC are currently top of the Western Conference, six points ahead of Austin in second. Steven Cherundolo’s side have been in strong form of late and have won their last five league games on the trot. They will look to continue their form with a win against Charlotte this weekend.
Charlotte, on the other hand, are currently 11th in the Eastern Conference, one point off the top seven. Christian Lattanzio’s side have been in poor form of late, having lost three of their last five games. They will hope to turn things around with a win against LAFC on Sunday.
Both sides will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
