The Stafford Spartans will challenge the El Campo Ricebirds at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Last Saturday, everything went Stafford's way against Brazosport as Stafford made off with a 5-1 win. Manuel Arrez was a massive factor in the win as he booted in three goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, El Campo came tearing into last Monday's game with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.4 goals), and they left with even more momentum. They never let the Sharks get on the board and left with a 5-0 victory. Considering the Ricebirds have won 14 contests by more than two goals this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Stafford is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 16 goals over those five games. El Campo's win bumped their record up to 15-5-2.
Stafford might still be hurting after the 4-1 defeat they got from El Campo when the teams last played back in January. Can Stafford avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
