This match features two teams living in the basement of the USL Championship, OKC Energy holding 13th place and Rio Grande Valley lying 16th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
OKC Energy and Rio Grande Valley should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
OKC Energy form and stats
OKC Energy, who have the most conceded goals (10) at home in USL Championship, have played 5 USL Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Energy, their manager J. Pascarella and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Energy are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 182 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by F. Lopez).
The OKC Energy crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-3 to San Antonio here at Taft Stadium in a USL Championship match. Ahead of that match, Energy lost 0-3 at home to New Mexico United.
Energy are traveling soon after this match as the USL Championship match at San Antonio awaits in four days.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Energy here at Taft Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (3 from 5 games). Energy have conceded 10 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Rio Grande Valley form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their USL Championship travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. It's a growing despair in Grande as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Grande are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Grande are travelling again after losing away to Austin Bold in their previous match (1-4). A loss against Tulsa Roughnecks was the result prior to that, in a home game.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Grande's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. Rio Grande Valley's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Energy - Rio Grande Valley 1-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for OKC Energy, three draws and four wins for Rio Grande Valley. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
