Soccer Game Preview: Tharptown vs. Tanner

Tharptown is on a three-game streak of home wins, while Tanner is on a three-game streak of away wins: one of those streaks is about to end. The Tharptown Wildcats will host the Tanner Rattlers at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. Both come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Tharptown's defense heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. They came out on top against Madison Academy by a score of 2-0. The score was all tied up 0-0 at the break, but the Wildcats were the better team in the second half.

Meanwhile, Tanner gave up the first goal on Thursday, but they didn't let that get them down. While the 1-1 score might suggest a draw, it was Tanner who was credited with the win. Tanner got it done in the shootout by posting six goals to Ardmore's five. The Rattlers haven't had any issues with the Tigers recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.

Tanner's one-goal win came courtesy of Ivan Lagunas, who's now up to two this season.

Tharptown has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 17 goals over those four games. Tanner's win bumped their record up to 9-4-1.

Tharptown might still be hurting after the 4-1 defeat they got from Tanner in their previous matchup on Friday. Will Tharptown have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other soccer content.
