El Tree returns home to square off with Uruguayan midfielder Santiago Rodríguez and the rest of the City Football Group-owned side. This match marks the first-ever league encounter between the two clubs. There’s not much currently separating mid-pack teams in the Western Conference as Major League Soccer’s pause for the Leagues Cup nears, so three points in this contest would provide a nice boost for ATXFC before its new signings can debut later this month. – Derek Udensi
