Soccer Game Preview: Central vs. Scottsbluff

The Central Indians will challenge the Scottsbluff Bearcats at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Central will be strutting in after a win while Scottsbluff will be coming in after a defeat.

Central is headed out to face Scottsbluff after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Everything went Central's way against Gering on Friday as Central made off with a 3-0 victory. The score was close at halftime, but Central pulled away in the second half with two goals.

Meanwhile, Scottsbluff had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a 5-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of East on Friday. The loss continues a trend for Scottsbluff in their meetings with East: they've now lost seven in a row.

Central beat Scottsbluff by a goal in their previous meeting back in March of 2024, winning 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for Central since the team won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
