Colorado Springs are welcoming Real Monarchs for another important game after their 2-1 result against 2nd-placed New Mexico United.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Colorado Springs form and stats
Colorado Springs's struggle is real here at Weidner Field with only 4 points collected from 7 USL Championship games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-4-3. Colorado Springs are slowly digging their own grave here at Weidner Field with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the New Mexico United match.
This is expected to be a close game, with Colorado Springs perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Colorado Springs as a small favourite), we find four games. Colorado has won one of these, drawn two and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the USL Championship game versus El Paso Locomotive in only four days. This game is also played here at Weidner Field.
Colorado has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Colorado's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Real Monarchs form and stats
As the visiting team in USL Championship matches, Real Monarchs, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in USL Championship, have produced an overall stat of 1-0-3 so far. Recent form does not give Monarchs much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Colorado Springs will be a tough nut to crack. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Real Monarchs are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Portland Timbers II.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Monarchs playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were one Real Monarchs win, zero draws and zero defeats.
A new game in only four days for Monarchs, the USL Championship home match versus New Mexico United. Busy days.
The attacking power of Real Monarchs when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Real Monarchs have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
