Indy needs a win and four goals to displace New York as the league leaders

Indy Eleven continues to find results, heading into the Spring Season finale on a nine-game unbeaten streak. The club, though, will hope the final weekend also brings silverware. The Eleven (3W-6D-0L, 15 points) have the best chance to catch the New York Cosmos at the top of the league, but the Boys in Blue will need to win by a margin of three goals, while scoring at least four. The club’s next opponent, the Carolina RailHawks, has been particularly stingy at the back, allowing just one goal in three games. Indy has scored four goals in a game once this Spring Season, which came in a 4-2 win against Minnesota United on May 21.

Carolina goes to Indy wondering what could have been had they defeated Jacksonville Armada FC last weekend instead of a 0-0 draw. If the RailHawks had won its final two games, they could have been crowned Spring Season Champions. Now, Carolina (4-2-3, 14) will turn to the role of spoiler, and aim to end the Eleven’s bid at silverware. In the process, Carolina will hope its attack can get back on track after scoring just once in its last four league contests.
