Chattanooga Red Wolves SC (6-4-4) will travel to Orlando for a mid-week matchup against Orlando City B (3-9-3) on Wednesday. This is just the second meeting between the two clubs with either side grabbing a point from a 0-0 draw at Montverde Academy earlier this season.
The match is the first of a two-game road trip for the Red Wolves after a nearly month-long home stand.
Orlando City B will look to bounce back from a brutal stretch of results with a big win at home as the side has lost their last four matches heading into Wednesday’s game.
Players to Watch
CHATTANOOGA: Ami Pineda, midfielder. The California native has been perhaps the biggest creative force behind the Red Wolves attack so far, this season. He ranks second on the team in both assists (3) and chances created (15). Pineda has also been selected in the USL League One Team of the Week on two occasions.
ORLANDO: Sergio Costabile Elia, midfielder. Better known as Serginho, the Brazilian international leads the club in nearly every offensive category. He sits atop the team rankings in total assists (3), shots (24) and chances created (19). He’s the main playmaker in Orlando’s attack, and he is crucial to the team’s success as he has started every match so far this season.
Last Time Out
CHATTANOOGA: The Red Wolves once again held on to their perfect record at home with a 1-1 draw against Lansing Ignite. After an opening goal from Lansing, a couple of first-half red cards reduced both sides to 10 men going into the second half. Red Wolves defender Tony Walls grabbed the equalizer in the 55th minute, and the score would remain knotted the rest of the way.
ORLANDO: Orlando City spent another week at the bottom of the League One table after their fourth-straight defeat at home against Greenville Triumph SC. The match also marked their third consecutive shutout loss, with the club having scored just one goal since June 12.
