Louisville, KY - In what could be considered their biggest match to date, Louisville City FC (5-1-5, 20 points) will take on the first place and undefeated, Rochester Rhinos (7-0-4, 25 points) at historic Sahlen's Stadium.

The 7:05pm kickoff on Saturday will be the second meeting between Louisville City and the Rhinos. Back on April 16th, the two clubs finished in a 1-1 draw at Slugger Field. A Juan Guzman goal in the 36th minute got City on the board first, but Rochester would level things in the 68th minute. Alex Dixon's goal was the first of only two goals that Louisville City FC has allowed this season at home.

Louisville City FC got three important points in Montreal on Wednesday to close the gap on the three teams ahead of them in the standings. Tarek Morad got the scoring going for City by driving a header to the near post off of a well-delivered corner from Niall McCabe. FC Montreal would hand Matt Fondy a goal twelve minutes later, and the club tallied it's fifth clean sheet of the season in the 2-0 win.

Rochester also got a win over FC Montreal in their last outing. A 1-0 home victory thanks to a first half goal from Steevan Dos Santos gave the Rhinos their seventh shutout of the season. The Rhinos have only conceded a league best, four goals this season, and have yet to give up more than one in a match.

Louisville City FC will be looking to get within two points of the Rhinos, before heading off to Chicago for a U.S. Open Cup tilt with the Fire on Tuesday. City will return home on June 20th for a USL matchup with MLS 2 club, New York Red Bulls II. Fans can purchase tickets by visiting louisvillecityfc.com/tickets
