It's been rough for Oakland Roots so far, and I guess you could say the same about Sacramento Republic. The strugglers have a chance for some much needed points here.

Insights:
  • Oakland Roots have the fewest scored goals (8) in USL Championship
  • Sacramento Republic have scored more than double the goals of Oakland Roots.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a USL Championship match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Seattle Sounders II.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the USL Championship game versus LA Galaxy II in only three days. This game is also played here at Laney College Football Field.

The lack of attacking qualities in Oakland Roots means that they have only scored 1 goal in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match.
