El Paso Locomotive and Oakland Roots meet on Sunday, Aug 9 at 3:00 AM in the USL Championship.
El Paso Locomotive come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Oakland Roots travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, El Paso Locomotive face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Oakland Roots have won 5 of 9 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in El Paso Locomotive won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes El Paso Locomotive clear favorites, but Oakland Roots have shown they can grind out results. Expect El Paso Locomotive to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
