LAFC suffered a 3-1 aggregate defeat against Leon in the final of the CONCACAF Champions League. The first leg saw Leon prevail 2-1 courtesy of first-half goals from William Tesillo and Angel Mena, while the Black and Gold scored a late consolation goal through Denis Bougana. Meanwhile, the second leg proved to be a cagey affair which saw Lucas di Yorio’s 20th-minute effort separating the two sides at BMO Stadium. When it comes to the MLS, Steve Cherundolo’s men have recorded seven wins, four draws and a solitary defeat from their 12 games thus far. The Falcons’ last league-win came against San Jose (2-1) almost three weeks ago thanks to Stipe Biuk’s third-minute opener and Carlos Vela’s dramatic winner from the penalty spot five minutes into injury time.
Atlanta on the other hand, were forced to share the points against New England last time out despite scoring three times in the second half through Giorgos Giakoumakis, Thiago Almada and Miguel Berry. It was their third consecutive draw, while the Five Stripes’ last success came against Colorado Rapids last month thanks to four unanswered goals from Almada, Luiz Araujo, Tyler Wolff and Giakoumakis. Meanwhile, Gonzalo Pineda’s men are winless in their last seven games on the road, while losing three matches in the process.
Los Angeles FC probable starting lineup: McCarthy, Hollingshead, Palencia, Maldonado, Palacios, Tillman, Sanchez, Opoku, Cifuentes, Biuk, Vela
Atlanta United probable starting lineup: Guzan, Lennon, Robinson, Abram, Gutman, Sosa, Ibarra, Araujo, Almada, Etienne, Berry
