Overview
- LAFC and Colorado are level on 26 points entering their first MLS meeting of the season on Wednesday at BMO Stadium, with LAFC holding two games in hand.
- Their schedule advantage stems from LAFC's Club World Cup commitments and a flood-postponed match that provided unplanned rest.
- Defensively, LAFC sits fourth in the Western Conference after giving up 24 goals, while Colorado ranks 10th with 30 conceded.
- Colorado has managed just one win in its last six league games, intensifying pressure on coach Chris Armas ahead of Wednesday.
- Steve Cherundolo has stressed that LAFC must convert their games in hand into points to keep their playoff ambitions alive.
