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.
