Soccer Game Preview: East Bladen vs. Raleigh Charter

The East Bladen Eagles will head out to challenge the Raleigh Charter Phoenix on Thursday. East Bladen is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 3 goals per game this season.

East Bladen is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Tuesday. They were the clear victors by a 6-0 margin over Roxboro Community. The high-flying offensive performance was a huge turnaround for East Bladen considering their one-goal performance the contest before.

Their offense was hitting Roxboro Community from everywhere, as five different players booted in a goal. Ishaq Algozy led that balanced group of strikers and accounted for two goals all by himself.

Meanwhile, Raleigh Charter hasn't lost a match since October 8th, a trend which continued in their latest game two weeks ago. Neither they nor Franklin Academy could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 2-2 draw. Raleigh Charter had to tread lightly for part of the matchup as Kaden Atkinson and Dylan Henson were both handed yellow cards, which could explain the final result.

East Bladen is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-6-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 29 goals over those seven contests. Raleigh Charter's draw gives them a new season record of 10-6-3.
