The Carolina RailHawks have been one of the league’s most entertaining teams recently, but that hasn’t quite translated into results. In the club’s last three games at home, the RailHawks (2W-3D-3L, 9 points) have drawn two and won the other, scoring nine goals, but conceding six goals. Omar Bravo has settled nicely into Carolina and has three goals, while his strike partner, Matt Fondy, has scored four times since joining for the Fall Season. The pair both scored in a 2-2 draw with Puerto Rico FC last Saturday.

Indy Eleven (6-1-2, 19) visits WakeMed Soccer Park carrying plenty of confidence as the league leaders. Indy’s season has been defined by late-game heroics and received some last weekend in a 2-1 win over Rayo OKC when captain Colin Falvey found the back of the net. Indy will also carry extra confidence from its last game against Carolina when the Eleven earned a 4-1 win, which ultimately clinched the team the Spring Season title.
