The Alonso Ravens will venture away from home to challenge the Newsome Wolves at 8:00 p.m. on Friday. Alonso is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 3.2 goals per game this season.
If Alonso beats Newsome with four goals on Friday, it's going to be the team's new lucky number: they've won their past two contests with that exact score. Alonso walked away with a 4-2 win over Hillsborough on Tuesday. The Ravens' winning goal came courtesy of Johan Murillo.
Meanwhile, Newsome had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4 goals) and they went ahead and made it five on Tuesday. They never let the Wildcats onto the board and left with a 1-0 victory. Given Wolves' advantage in MaxPreps' Florida soccer rankings (they are ranked 144th, while the Wildcats are ranked 306th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Newsome's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-2. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 30 goals over those six matches. As for Alonso, they are on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten games, which provided a nice bump to their 8-4-2 record this season.
Alonso might still be hurting after the 4-0 defeat they got from Newsome when the teams last played back in November of 2017. Can Alonso avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
