Oregon and DeForest are an even 3-3 against one another since September of 2016, but likely not for long. The Panthers will welcome the Norskies at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Oregon's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for four straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.

Oregon is likely headed into the matchup with a focus on the second half, which is when things went downhill against Hudson on Saturday. The Panthers took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Raiders. While losing is never fun, Oregon can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Wisconsin soccer rankings (they are ranked 41st, while Hudson are ranked third).

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for DeForest, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They put the hurt on Eau Claire Memorial with a sharp 7-1 win on Saturday. DeForest might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by three goals or more this season.

DeForest has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine matches. That somehow still isn't as good as their 10-1-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 33 goals over those nine matchups. As for Oregon, their defeat dropped their record down to 5-5-1.
