Soccer Game Preview: Acton-Boxborough vs. Concord-Carlisle

The Acton-Boxborough Revolution will head out to challenge the Concord-Carlisle Patriots at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Acton-Boxborough's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for three straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.

On Tuesday, Acton-Boxborough and Bedford finished up their contest with a 0-0 draw.

Meanwhile, Concord-Carlisle kept a clean sheet against Wayland on Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out the Warriors 1-0. Given Concord-Carlisle's advantage in MaxPreps' Massachusetts soccer rankings (they are ranked 33rd, while Wayland are ranked 89th) , the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Concord-Carlisle is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-4-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 18 goals over those seven matches. Acton-Boxborough's draw makes their record 2-10-4 this season.
