Soccer Game Preview: Bella Vista vs. Woodcreek

The Bella Vista Broncos will face off against the Woodcreek Timberwolves at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Woodcreek will have to contend with a Bella Vista team hungry for a win, something the squad hasn't seen since January 4. Bella Vista and Christian Brothers finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw on Tuesday. The outcome might've been different if Melver Rangel Gutierrez hadn't been hit with a yellow card, which no doubt limited his ability to make aggressive plays down the stretch.

Meanwhile, Woodcreek came tearing into Tuesday's contest with seven straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2.1 goals) and they left with even more momentum. Their defense stepped up to hand the Tigers a 3-0 shutout. The score was close at the half, but the Timberwolves pulled away in the second half with two goals.

Woodcreek is also on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 matches, which provided a nice bump to their 11-2-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 33 goals over those 12 games. With that draw, Bella Vista's record moves to 4-4-5.

Bella Vista came up short against Woodcreek in their previous matchup back in January, falling 4-2. Will Bella Vista have more luck at home instead of on the road? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other soccer content.
