Season is starting back up with the northern rivalry (insert GoT reference here...)
Ventura Fusion is playing Real SoCal for northern bragging rights. Last time these teams met, it was 0-0 at ht but Ventura collapsed in the second half, giving up four goals for the 4-1 RSC win.
Looking forward, there has been some improvement with Ventura's defensive side, which the algo is saying will make this a closer match than last time around.
However, it looks like the improvement may have come as a result of Ventura whittling their player roster down. For example, although 15 '06 Ventura players are rostered on the USSDA site, only 11 06s and one 05 were rostered in the game report for Ventura's last three matches.
And, given 1) Ventura's 2nd half collapse last match, 2) RSC's 19 player roster and 3) the winter break, this weekend has the trappings of being a 2h collapse repeat of last match for Ventura.
Ventura has big dependency on #8 SO and, to a lesser extent, #16 JA for goal scoring, with the two players accounting for more than 50% of Ventura's goal scored to date.
On the Real SoCal side, after a solid start with two decent wins, the season has been a story "almost but not quite" for RSC. In particular, their defense has shown some holes in some key games.
For example, after going up 2-0 against LAFC, RSC then proceeded to painfully go 0-8 for the last 55 minutes of the match. More recently, RSC couldn't contain LAUFA, unable to adequately check LAUFA's offense for 3-4 loss.
Keys to beating RSC are to contain #36 who has accounted for more than 50% of RSC's total goals scored.
yeah, yeah, yeah. the commentary is nice, blah blah blah, but what does the algo say?
