El Paso Locomotive FC will go back on the road to take on its Texas rival Austin Bold FC in a midweek game on Thursday, June 3. Kickoff from Bold Stadium is set for 7:00 p.m. MT and will be broadcast live nationally on ESPN Deportes as USL Championship’s highlighted Game of the Week.
After three matches, El Paso Locomotive remains as one of four teams left undefeated in the 2021 USL Championship season. Opening the 2021 regular season with a record of 1-0-2 (5 points), Locomotive takes on its next challenge against Austin Bold FC in a midweek contest. The two sides have not met since their shared inaugural 2019 season, where they split the points home and away on a scoreless draw at Bold Stadium and a 1-1 draw at Southwest University Park. With an all-time series deadlock of 0-0-2, both sides will be looking to turn the tides and get an edge in the Copa Tejas rivalry.
Hot off the heels of a scoreless draw against Sporting Kansas City II last Sunday, Locomotive is eager to get three points on the road when it visits Bold Stadium this Thursday. Having yet to lose a game and with games in hand over teams in Mountain Division, Locomotive is in a prime position to climb the standings early in the season. Meanwhile, Austin Bold FC recently earned its first win of the 2021 USL Championship season over Real Monarchs on a 2-0 score line. With some a bit of rest following the postponement of its match with Tacoma Defiance following inclement weather.
