Soccer Game Preview: Bayside vs. Landstown

Bayside is 0-7-1 against Landstown since May of 2016 but things could change on Tuesday. The Marlins will venture away from home to challenge the Eagles at 5:15 p.m. Bayside will be strutting in after a win while Landstown will be coming in after a loss.

The home team had come away the winner the last four times Bayside and Salem had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Marlins never let the Sundevils get on the board and left with a 4-0 victory on Friday. Bayside might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three games by three goals or more this season.

Meanwhile, Friday just wasn't the day for Landstown's offense. They fell just short of Princess Anne by a score of 1-0 on Friday. While losing is never fun, Landstown can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Virginia soccer rankings (they are ranked 95th, while Princess Anne are ranked 13th).

Landstown has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-4-2 record this season. As for Bayside, they now have a winning record of 3-2-4.

Bayside suffered a grim 4-0 defeat to Landstown in their previous meeting back in April of 2024. Can the Marlins avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
