Orange County SC returns to the friendly confines of Championship Stadium at The Great Park in Irvine, CA as they host San Antonio FC on Saturday, July 20 at 7:00 PM on Matchday 20. The Black and Orange suffered defeat their last time out in Tampa, but have won two of their last three at home and now go against a side that has struggled on the road this season.
ALL THEIR W’S LIVE IN TEXAS
Well, almost all of them that is. San Antonio FC enter Saturday’s contest in 10th place in the Western Conference. SAFC has been a staple near the top of the West for the past couple seasons, however some of their struggles this season can boil down to their form away from home. They are just 1-6-1 away from Toyota Field this season, the worst road record in the Western Conference this year; only The Miami FC is worse on the road so far (0-6-1). Their 2-1 win in their last match against Phoenix on July 6 halted a five match losing streak. Former USMNT forward Juan Agudelo currently leads the side with seven goals, including a brace against the Rising.

Orange County SC fell to the Tampa Bay Rowdies 2-0 on the road in St. Petersburg, FL last Saturday. It was the third time in four matches that the Black and Orange had failed to find the back of the net. However, they now return home to The Champ where they have been able to score and they have been able to get results so far this season. The County Boys have won two of their last three home matches, scoring seven goals in that span. OCSC will be without a rising star in midfielder Ben Norris, a starter in each of the last two matches, due to a red card in last week’s contest. So they’ll look to another young talent in forward Bryce Jamison, currently tied for the goal scoring lead with forward Ethan Zubak amongst active players, to bring the energy and find a spark this offense needs once again.
Players to watch:

All-time record:
Orange County SC is 4-4-6 all-time against San Antonio FC.
