The Five Stripes will have to do it without their top scorer.

In the league, Atlanta United are currently in the 12th position in MLS after failing to win three consecutive matches. They have lost two matches and drawn two in the last three, which has left them 19 points behind Inter Miami, the league leaders.

Since they are missing several players, this will be another difficult match for them. As well as facing the threat of losing their top scorer Giakoumakis to Mexican side Cruz Azul, Gonzalo Pineda will face a loss.

LAFC are fifth in the Western Conference with 21 points. They are currently seven points behind league leaders Salt Lake. The last couple of matches have been positive for the team as they have won four straight matches. Last time, Steven Cherundolo’s team defeated St. Louis City by 0-2 with Denis Bounga scoring a brace. LAFC also advanced to the quarter-finals of the US Open Cup by beating Loudoun United FC.
