Indy Eleven returns to Carroll Stadium after a three-game winless streak on the road. At home, though, the club has been incredibly tough to take points from and the Boys in Blue have won eight in a row and are unbeaten in 13 straight games. The Eleven (6W-2D-4L, 20 points) was in action on Wednesday night, but slipped in the Fall Season title race with a 3-0 loss to the New York Cosmos. The team’s leading scorer, Eamon Zayed, who has 12 goals in 2016, has been particularly dangerous at home, scoring 10 goals at The Mike.
The Tampa Bay Rowdies (3-2-6, 11) head to Indianapolis after picking up a 2-0 win over Rayo OKC last Saturday on two goals from English star Joe Cole, who now has the team lead with seven. The win snapped a three-game losing skid for the club and the connection between Cole and Georgi Hristov served as the catalyst. The Bulgarian forward had the assist and then the shot that rebounded for Cole’s goals. After getting back into the win column, the Rowdies will now look to end a five-game road losing streak.
