Orange County hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 8 points and a 28th position in the USL Championship table. Visiting Phoenix Rising holds 14th place with 10 pts.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Phoenix Rising form and stats

Things could have gone better for Phoenix Rising in their away games, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Phoenix Rising has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Sacramento Republic for a USL Championship game that ended a draw (0-0). Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Seattle Sounders II.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Phoenix Rising as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games. Phoenix Rising are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 1 goal away.
