Las Vegas Lights form and stats

The story so far in the USL Championship for Las Vegas Lights at their home stadium (Cashman Field) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

The fans are hoping that Las Vegas Lights will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the USL Championship game against San Diego Loyal (placed 3rd). As you see from the result above, Lights suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Sacramento Republic.

This is expected to be a close game, with Las Vegas Lights perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Las Vegas Lights as a small favourite), we find three games. Lights has won one of these, drawn one and lost one.

A decent goal production from Lights in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Las Vegas Lights have conceded 11 goals.

Oakland Roots form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Oakland Roots so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-5 (win-draw-lose).

Before that, Oakland secured a home win against LA Galaxy II with the score 2-1.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Oakland in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Oakland Roots, zero draws and one defeat.
