The Chattanooga Red Wolves will take on Greenville Triumph this Sunday for the first time in their season. The Red Wolves won't see Greenville Triumph again until September 14th, where this time, they will take on Greenville on their home turf.

The Chattanooga Red Wolves last match was against Lexington SC on May 25th. In the first half, The Red Wolves quickly set the pace with securing a goal in the seventh minute scored by Mayele Malango. Lexington responded in the 35th minute to even the score 1-1. Chattanooga did not allow this to last long, and Chevone Marsh found the back of the net to give Chattanooga the lead. Around the 55th Lexington responded, making the score and even 2-2; however, once again, Malango secured his second goal of the game shortly after to regain the lead once more.

After a physical second half, the Red Wolves found themselves down one man due to a red card given to Omar Hernandez. Lexington took advantage of this to secure their third goal in the first few minutes of stoppage time, and managed to find the net again shortly after, resulting in a 4-3 final.

Greenville last competed on May 25th in the third round of the USL Jägermeister Cup against Spokane Velocity FC where Greenville's keeper, Gunther Rankenburg managed to have a shutout in regulation time. Both teams created goal scoring opportunities throughout the first half, but neither keepers were allowing any shots through. The second half remained a battle, with both sides taking control of the midfield and looking to capitalize using passing combinations.

The game went into PK's after regulation, where Greenville would secure the win on a sixth round save from their keeper.
