Varela is 6-1 against American since December of 2015 and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Tuesday. The Varela Vipers will take on the American Patriots at 3:30 p.m.

Varela is likely headed into the match with a focus on the second half, which is when things went downhill against TERRA Environmental last Thursday. Varela fell 4-2 to TERRA Environmental. While losing is never fun, the Vipers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 229th, while TERRA Environmental are ranked 61st).

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask American). They were the clear victor by a 10-2 margin over Norland last Tuesday. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Patriots with their most commanding win of the season.

American has also been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games, which provided a massive bump to their 6-4-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 22 goals over those five contests. As for Varela, they now have a losing record at 5-6-2.
