The Battlefield Bobcats will head out on the road to square off against the Freedom Eagles at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday. Battlefield is coming into the game hot, having won their last 12 games.
Last Friday, Battlefield sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 3-2 win over Patriot. Given Battlefield's advantage in MaxPreps' Virginia soccer rankings (they are ranked tenth, while Patriot is ranked 237th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, for the first time this season, Freedom was forced to settle for a draw. They and Forest Park finished up on equal footing with a 1-1 draw on Thursday.
Battlefield pushed their record up to 12-1 with that victory, which was their sixth straight on the road. With that draw, Freedom's record moves to 7-6-1.
Everything went Battlefield's way against Freedom in their previous meeting back in April as Battlefield made off with a 3-0 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Battlefield since the squad won't have the home-pitch advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
