The Okeechobee Brahmans will head out on the road to take on the Central Cobras at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. Both are strolling into their games after big wins in their previous games.
Okeechobee is headed in fresh off scoring the most goals they have all season. Their defense stepped up to hand Moore Haven an 8-0 shutout two weeks ago. Given the Brahmans' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 223rd, while the Terriers are ranked 451st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Central had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 2.8 goals) and they went ahead and made it five on Wednesday. They blew past the Greyhounds 7-2. That's two games straight that the Cobras have won by exactly five goals.
Central pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 22 goals over those five matchups. As for Okeechobee, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 3-3.
Okeechobee suffered a grim 3-0 defeat to Central in their previous matchup back in November. Can Okeechobee avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
