  • Los Angeles FC welcomes Atlanta United at BMO Stadium on Sunday at 9 p.m. EDT, riding a season-high four-game winning streak with a 15-4 scoring edge that marks its most prolific four-game stretch since July 2019.
  • Denis Bouanga has 23 league goals after an eight-goal September that earned MLS player of the month honors, while Son Heung-min has scored eight in eight matches since his Aug. 6 signing.
  • Bouanga and Son have combined for all 17 of LAFC’s last 17 league goals across six matches, fueling a Western Conference-best season tally of 60 team goals.
  • Atlanta enters at 5-14-12 with only one league win since May 28, a minus-20 goal differential, and a 1-9-5 road record, and head coach Ronny Deila has criticized the team’s mentality as “soft.”
