The Orange and Blue have identical 1-1-1 records at home and on the road this season. FC Cincinnati will look to earn at least a point in a third consecutive away match.
FC Cincinnati (2-2-2, 8 pts.) enter the week after playing Sporting Kansas City to a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon. Darren Mattocks tallied for the Orange and Blue from the penalty spot as FCC gained at least a point for the fourth time through six matches.
LAFC (5-0-1, 16 pts.) enter the week as arguably MLS' top team, having gone unbeaten through six matches. Last weekend, LAFC defeated DC United, 4-0, on the road at Audi Field.

Vela (seven goals) and Rossi (six goals) are currently the two leading scorers in MLS and have combined for more goals than any other team has scored this season.
