Oakland Roots form and stats
Oakland Roots have played 8 USL Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). There’s a good atmosphere here at Laney College Football Field after three straight home wins.
Happy days for Oakland in their previous game, a USL Championship match away at Las Vegas Lights (placed 8th) that ended with a 1-0 victory.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Tampa Bay Rowdies (0-3).The match schedule is unforgiving for Oakland Roots as they have a new game in only four days, a USL Championship match thankfully also at home. Seattle Sounders II are visiting.
The Oakland fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
San Diego Loyal form and stats
As the visiting team in USL Championship matches, San Diego Loyal have produced an overall stat of 3-2-5 so far. San Diego Loyal has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Diego go into this game after a win, the home game against LA Galaxy II that ended 4-2. As you can tell from the result, the match against LA Galaxy II was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Sacramento Republic at their stadium, the result 3-1.Diego have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 14 goals have been scored. Diego have conceded 17 goals in these games.
