Sacramento Republic FC (H) v. Reno 1868 FC

Last Time Out: Sacramento defeated last place Portland Timbers 2 away, 1-0, to post their 7th win in 8 matches. Their last loss was over 2 months ago now, away to…? Reno, of course. 8’s defeated conference 2d, San Antonio FC, 2-0, at home last week.

Players To Watch For: None of the Republic players are among the USL leaders. In anything. Yet the club is on a 3 match win streak and sits 7 points out of second place with 12 matches to play. Those kinds of numbers scream, “balance”. 4 players have scored 4+ goals. Defenders’ heads must swivel.
