Parkland is 2-8 against Del Valle since January of 2021 but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday. The Parkland Matadors will look to defend their home pitch against the Del Valle Conquistadores at 10:30 a.m. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Del Valle better have a healthy lead at halftime, because if last week is any indication, that's when Parkland really gets things going. Parkland never let Hanks get on the board and left with a 3-0 victory on Wednesday. Considering the Matadors have won seven games by more than two goals this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, after failing to score in their last contest, Del Valle made sure to put some goals up on the board against Horizon on Wednesday. They walked away with a 4-2 win over the Scorpions. Given the Conquistadores' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas soccer rankings (they are ranked 96th in Texas, while the Scorpions are ranked 445th in Texas), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Del Valle hit Horizon with a three-pronged attack, as the team got scores from Gael Perez (2), Luis Ramirez, and Francisco Garcia.
Del Valle has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 23 goals over those seven games. Parkland's victory ended a four-game drought on the road and puts them at 9-8.
Parkland might still be hurting after the 5-0 loss they got from Del Valle when the teams last played on February 5th. Will Parkland have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
