Miami FC and Louisville City FC Battle for Eastern Conference Dominance
Published on May 12, 2023 under United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Miami FC News Release
Make sure to tune in Saturday, May 13th at 7PM for a critical matchup between Miami FC and Louisville City FC. After a dominant 3-1 win in their last match against the Birmingham Legion, Miami FC will look to go on the road and continue their success against the currently third ranked Louisville City FC.
Miami FC has fared well against their opposition recently. After dominating the Las Vegas Lights 4-1 and defeating the league-leading Birmingham Legion, Miami FC looks to be up to the task Saturday against more high-level opposition.
There are some interesting match dynamics in play heading into Saturday. The Louisville defensive line has been near impenetrable over the past month, impressively conceding only 1 goal in the entire month. However, they will be tasked with shutting down a recently blistering Miami FC attack that has produced 9 goals in its last 4 appearances. Miami's Christian Sorto will look to extend his recent goal scoring campaign in a pivotal match that could result in his team moving up to 3rd place in USL Eastern Conference Championship.
The match will have a familiar feel for Miami FC's Paco Craig, who began his USL career with Louisville FC. In his 85-match stint with the club he won two consecutive USL Cups in 2017 and 2018, and was named to the USL All League First Team both seasons before departing for Miami.
The last time these teams met was on August 27, 2022 in a match that ended 1-0 in Miami FC's favor. Louisville FC's offensive line has struggled recently, producing just 2 goals in its last 4 matches. Miami FC will look to remain composed and organized in the back and capitalize on counter attacks and set pieces in a matchup that looks to showcase two of the stiffest defenses at the top of the USL table.
This matchup is one that cannot be missed, and is sure to be packed with action from kickoff. The game will be nationally televised game on ESPN2 and will be available for streaming on CBSMiami.com, ESPN+, and YouTube, as well as being broadcasted on TV33 for local television viewers.
