The Rio Grande Valley fans got no joy from their last match, a USL Championship game also here at H-E-B Park: A 1-2 defeat against Colorado Springs (placed 2nd).
Preceding that game was the away draw at Colorado Springs that finished 1-1.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Grande as they are travelling to their away game against New Mexico United in the USL Championship. That match is four days after this one.
Rio Grande Valley are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
Atlanta United II form and stats
There's been little loot from Atlanta United II's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the USL Championship. Atlanta United II only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws.
Atlanta aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 259 league minutes without a goal. J. Conway was the last player to find the net.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a USL Championship home defeat versus Birmingham Legion with 0-4 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Birmingham Legion was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Tampa Bay Rowdies.A new game in only four days for Atlanta, the USL Championship home match versus Louisville City. Busy days.
Atlanta have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. Atlanta have conceded 20 goals in these games.
