Stars FC face Redlands on Monday, May 25 at 4:30 AM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the USL League Two, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Stars FC come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Redlands, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Stars FC head into this on the back of a defeat, while Redlands arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 2 previous meetings, Stars FC lead 0–2 with 0 draws. Their last encounter ended in Redlands won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Stars FC a slight edge, but Redlands are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
