Puerto Rico Brings Four-Game Unbeaten Run Into Matchup With Fort Lauderdale

Puerto Rico FC is fresh from the first road victory in club history when a Miami own goal gave Adrian Whitbread’s men all three points. Puerto Rico (2W-8D-6L, 14 points Fall; 2-8-6, 14 Combined) is now unbeaten in the last four games – keeping three clean sheets. While Héctor Ramos led the side early in the Fall Season, Puerto Rican international Jackie Marrero has been the catalyst of late. He scored in the club’s recent 3-3 draw with Jacksonville Armada FC and then it was his free kick that was flicked on by Miami’s Pablo Campos into his own net for the only goal of the game last weekend.

The Fort Lauderdale Strikers visit Juan Ramón Loubriel Stadium after letting a key opportunity slip. The Strikers (4-5-6, 17 Fall; 8-8-9, 32 Combined) could have gained ground in the postseason chase, but were beaten by rival Tampa Bay, 4-1. The Strikers, though, are only four points behind fourth-place Minnesota United and use their game in hand on Wednesday night. No less than three points will do for the Strikers, who have been one of the better sides on the road and are tied for the most wins away from home in league play – Miami FC also has four.
