OKC Energy hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 9 points and a 4th position in the USL Championship table. Visiting Austin Bold holds 2nd place with 18 pts.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
OKC Energy form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the USL Championship this season. OKC Energy, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in USL Championship, have only managed 0 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses from their games here at Taft Stadium. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. OKC Energy are slowly digging their own grave here at Taft Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Colorado Springs match.
OKC Energy faced defeat in their previous match, away at San Antonio (0-2). A 1-1 draw away before that, with Tulsa Roughnecks the opponent.
The manager J. Pascarella will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tulsa Roughnecks in only three days.
OKC Energy aren't scoring a lot here at Taft Stadium in the league, with only 4 goals from 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.
Austin Bold form and stats
1 win, 4 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Austin Bold, who have the most scored goals (13) away in USL Championship, playing as the away team in the USL Championship this season.
A. Diouf, A. Quintanilla and X. Báez scored in Austin's previous match, the home game against Swope Park Rangers that ended 4-0. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against San Antonio wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
As mentioned above, Austin Bold was the only team on the pitch versus Swope Park Rangers in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
Austin has another fixture away, a USL Championship game, against Rio Grande Valley in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Austin Bold are regular goalscorers on their travels. The Austin Bold manager M. Serrano has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.
