Calera will be up against a hot Homewood squad: the team just extended their winning streak to three. The Patriots' defense stepped up to hand John Carroll Catholic a 3-0 shutout on Friday. Homewood's defense has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a goal in their last three contests.
Meanwhile, Calera entered their tilt with Chilton County on Friday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. They were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over the Tigers. The final result isn't all the surprising considering Calera's considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama soccer rankings (they are ranked 38th, while Chilton County are ranked 162nd).
Calera pushed their record up to 9-3-1 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 19 goals over those three matches. As for Homewood, their win bumped their record up to 15-2-3.
Everything went Homewood's way against Calera in their previous meeting back in February of 2024, as Homewood made off with a 10-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Patriots since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
