WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Tonight, the Greenville Triumph will host Chattanooga for a second time this year. In their first meeting, Greenville dominated the Tennessee club with a 5-1 win. It was a record-breaking night for Lyam MacKinnon, who notched the first four-goal match in USL League One history before Leo Castro capped off the match with a goal to solidify the lopsided victory.

This will be Greenville's second match in a five-day stretch before facing Union Omaha on Saturday. Last weekend, dangerous weather and injuries delayed Greenville and Northern Colorado's match into the early hours of the morning for east coasters. The match ended in a 0-0 stalemate and Greenville maintaining its sixth seed.

After earning a challenging point on the road without a handful of their starters, Greenville enters Wednesday's match with more optimism in its depth. Both Devin Boyce and Leo Castro have been cleared to play and may see some minutes on the field against Chattanooga. Last weekend, late in the second half, goalkeeper Gunther Rankenburg replaced starting keeper, Jared Mazzola. With Mazzola questionable for tonight's match, we might see the rookie earn some more minutes in relief of Greenville's first-year starting keeper. After a goal line save and some hard knocks on Saturday, Jamie Smith will be back in full force along with Evan Lee and Aaron Walker.

Chattanooga has had a trialing season, managing only five victories so far with a 5-13-5 record overall. Most recently, they lost last Saturday against Union Omaha. A close 2-1 match didn't fall in favor of the Red Wolves and kept the side at 11th place on the table. Despite a downward trajectory, Chattanooga still has the potential to turn it around this season. The club has added players to its roster throughout the summer, including former Greenville striker, Marios Lomis, who could find himself in the lineup against his former club on Wednesday.
