Louisville City’s draw to the Charleston Battery capped off an exhausting stretch for the boys in purple. All factors considered, it was a successful period and now the team has a full proper week to recuperate before taking on one of the league-best. Bob Lilley’s Pittsburgh Riverhounds are only one game back and two points behind LouCity. They are a historically solid team. Louisville may have gotten the better of them in their last meeting in the 2020 playoffs however, they

The lead-up to Louisville City’s match against Charleston was exhilarating, to say the least. An instant classic against San Diego followed by a memorable shoot-out win against St Louis City SC 2 only a few days later. The wild stretch of matches would be a test of depth for Louisville as they faced a struggling yet well-rested Battery. Coach Danny Cruz has repeatedly expressed confidence in his whole squad. This was the match to find out who could step up, as a number of fam

Louisville City had had quite the wild stretch of matches. Their previous league match was a seven-goal thriller in San Diego and the most recent encounter went to PKs ending with City advancing in the US Open Cup 9-8. Now, LouCity is back to league play and on the road to face the Charleston Battery. It’s been a while since these squads have faced off. Their last match was in August 2019. Louisville has won seven and drew four of the 13 total matches between the clubs and he

After the routing of Loudoun, the boys in purple hopped on a cross-country flight to San Diego, where their next opponent awaited them. The Loyal have had a great start to the 2022 season and as things stood at the moment, SDvLOU appeared to be a clash of two teams destined to make deep runs in the playoffs. The league’s top offense in the Loyal and the top defense in Louisville City. A big test for both teams with all the makings of an instant classic. Lineup Most stat websi

Louisville City has tallied another win to their record after a dominant win over Loudoun United. Their next match will be a true test. City is taking a cross-country flight to California where they will take on the San Diego Loyal. Morados’ has played the Loyal before, however, this iteration of Coach Landon Donovan’s squad has been just as successful as LouCity in 2022. As of this writing (before OAKvSD), the Loyal have won five of six, with their only loss being a tight co

Coming off a win in the US Open Cup, Louisville City was off to Virginia for an interesting matchup against Loudoun United. The DC United affiliate has historically not been a great team, however, they have had a solid start to their 2022 campaign. Despite their improved quality, it appeared to be LouCity’s match to lose. Lineup The starting eleven for Coach Danny Cruz’s 4-3-3 appears to be stabilizing. We are starting to see reoccurring selections for these rosters. One poin

After a draw in Birmingham and a US Open Cup win back at home, Louisville City begins a three-match stretch outside of the bluegrass beginning with a trip to see Loudoun United. Although Loudoun is technically a MLS 2 team (for DC United), they have been performing about that labeling this season. They have earned two wins, a draw, and an understandable loss to a solid Riverhounds team. Unlike LouCity, Loudoun has had early season success with a back three formation and will

With five regular-season USL Championship matches in the books, we now have a decent idea of what to expect from the 2022 version of Louisville City. While five matches is still a somewhat small sample size, there has been a good blend of home/away matches and varying opposition talent levels. There is still a lot of season left to play, but here are some of the early observations on LouCity: Early Cohesiveness This past offseason was Coach Danny Cruz’s first at the helm and

Louisville City has started their season in great form. Three straight wins for the boys in purple followed by a draw in the most recent match against Indy. While not earning all three points at home is a bummer, the team showed determination and tactical flexibility to get back into the match for the point. City’s next test would be on the road against the Birmingham Legion at their new home field, Protective Stadium. The Legion hadn’t yet found many points. However, the beg
