Soccer Game Preview: Clovis East vs. Madera

The Clovis East Timberwolves will wrap up 2024 with a road trip to face off against the Madera Coyotes at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Clovis East's last five games have been decided by no more than a goal, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.

Last Friday, Clovis East didn't have quite enough to beat Roosevelt and fell 2-1. That's two games in a row now that the Timberwolves have lost by just one goal.

Their goal came courtesy of David Kabamba, who's now up to two this season.

Meanwhile, Madera can finally bid farewell to their three-game losing streak thanks to their game on Friday. Neither they nor Madera South could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 0-0 draw. The result (or lack thereof) was the first time the Coyotes have been dealt a draw since back in November.

Clovis East's defeat dropped their record down to 1-4-1. With that draw, Madera's record moves to 2-9-2.

Clovis East came out on top in a nail-biter against Madera when the teams last played back in January of 2017, sneaking past 3-2. The rematch might be a little tougher for Clovis East since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
