El Paso met Austin earlier this year for their first of four games of the season, traveling to Bold Stadium at the beginning of June. It was a deadlocked match where neither side truly threatened for a goal until Defender Macca King sent in a dangerous cross to the far post. Midfielder Diego Luna was there to meet the end of it to head away from his first professional goal since signing to the club ahead of the 2021 USL Championship season. That was the first three points Locomotive claimed over the Bold, after having split the points in their two previous meetings.
Two months have passed since that last meeting and both teams have had wildly different experiences in the 2021 season. For Locomotive, the club has positioned itself as the sole leader in the Mountain Division while challenging Phoenix Rising FC and Louisville City FC for the top spot across the league. Meanwhile, Austin Bold has had an average season, trading losses for wins for draws. Starting the season towards the bottom of the table, Austin has surged in recent weeks, taking third in the Mountain Division. The two sides will clash again, this time at Southwest University Park where Locos look to extend their impressive home undefeated streak that has spanned over a year.
