The Tampa Bay Rowdies get another crack at scoring a win in front of their home fans when they host Rayo OKC this Saturday at Al Lang Stadium. The Green and Gold dropped a 1-0 home contest to visiting FC Edmonton last weekend, despite being the better side for much of the game. Tampa Bay (2W-2D-6L, 8 points) will be desperate to get back in the win column after dropping five of its last six games, and on Saturday, they welcome a Rayo OKC side that has been fairly strong on the road in 2016.

The visitors are still trying to find their feet under new head coach Gerard Nus. After earning an impressive 1-1 draw in New York in the Spaniard’s first game in charge, Rayo OKC (3-4-3, 13) has dropped two straight 2-1 results. With that said, the club was able to go to Tampa Bay in the Spring Season and come away with a 1-1 draw. Rayo OKC then followed that result up with a win over the Rowdies at Miller Stadium. Midfielder Billy Forbes has looked especially dangerous for Nus’ side in recent games, and hopes to bring that same level of intensity to Al Lang Stadium on Saturday night.
