Indy Eleven and Tampa Bay Rowdies meet on Sunday, Oct 11 at 1:00 AM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the USL Championship. Just 2 points separate them in the standings.

Indy Eleven come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Tampa Bay Rowdies, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 2D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Indy Eleven face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Tampa Bay Rowdies have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Tampa Bay Rowdies won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Indy Eleven a slight edge, but Tampa Bay Rowdies are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
