As the USL match between Phoenix Rising and Louisville approaches, all eyes are on the two teams as they prepare to face off on tonight. Louisville City currently sits in 5th place in the Eastern Conference with 21 points, while Phoenix Rising has been struggling with poor form and is currently in 8th place with 17 points.
One major talking point heading into the game is the departure of Louisville's Josh Wydner, who recently transferred to Benefica for a record-breaking $1.2 million. This loss will definitely affect Louisville's lineup and style of play, and they will need to adjust quickly to fill the void left by Wydner's absence.
Despite this, Louisville has some key players to watch out for, including Wilson Harris, who is their leading scorer this year. Additionally, Amadou Dia, a former Phoenix Rising player, has been instrumental for Louisville as their leading assist provider.
On the other hand, Phoenix Rising will need to turn their form around if they hope to secure a win against Louisville. While struggling in recent weeks, they have some players to watch out for, including forwards Danny Trejo and Manual Arteaga who have both shown promise in the attack.
The game promises to be an exciting clash between two teams with different ambitions this season. Louisville will be looking to cement their position in the playoff spots, while Phoenix Rising will be hoping to turn their season around and make a push for the playoffs themselves. It all comes down to tonight, and it will be interesting to see how both teams respond on the field.
