Soccer Game Preview: Amador vs. El Dorado

Amador is 0-3 against El Dorado since November of 2016 but things could change on Wednesday. The Amador Buffaloes will square off against the El Dorado Cougars at 6:30 p.m. Both teams beat their previous opponents by a single goal, so this matchup might be just as contested.

If El Dorado heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Amador took over last week. Amador beat Union Mine by a goal, winning 3-2.

Meanwhile, El Dorado narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Bradshaw Christian 2-1. The win was all the more spectacular given the Cougars' disadvantage in MaxPreps' California soccer rankings (they are ranked 911th, while the The Pride are ranked 424th).
