Swope Park Rangers news and notes

Current record: 12-5-3, 39pts

Swope Park Rangers come in to this match after a scoreless draw in Saint Louis last Saturday, and will seek to get back in to scoring form.

It could have been a 1-0 loss for Swope Park as Octavio Guzman saw his penalty saved by Darrin MacLeod to keep the match scoreless.

Swope will have been disappointed to get only a point as they had the bulk of possession in the match (51.9%) and dominated the aerial duals (64.3%).

Orange County SC news and notes

Current record: 7-6-5, 26pts

Orange County SC comes in to this match hurting, following a 4-0 loss at home to Colorado Springs Switchbacks on Tuesday.

The result was made all the more frustrating considering that Orange County dominated possession, with 62% but still conceded four goals for the second time this season.

Orange County is now three matches without a win, with just two wins in their last six matches, starting to fall away from the playoffs.

This will be the first meeting of the two sides since Swope Park triumphed in extra time in the 2016 USL Playoffs.
