Next Match – El Paso Locomotive vs Louisville City – 07/30/2022

For the second straight match, Louisville City will face opposition from the West. This time, however, will be outside the confines of Lynn Family Stadium. With an extended break under their belts, the boys in purple are heading to El Paso to take on the Locomotive. This will be the first meeting between the clubs and both are in need of some points to solidify their playoff positions. El Paso is currently 5th in the West with 33 points. After a beating in Oakland and a tough

Louisville City On The Road

Having previously examined the data of Louisville City’s home performances, it’s time to look into how the squad has historically performed outside of the bluegrass. Like the previous review, this will focus on regular season data from 2017 to present from American Soccer Analysis’s dataset. 2020 has been omitted, as LouCity only played 4 on the road and their numbers would be impacted by the much smaller sample size. It wouldn't be fair to line up 2020's data next to the oth

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Phoenix Rising – 07/20/2022

It was a quick turnaround after Louisville City’s match in Memphis before they were due to host the inaugural USL Summer Showcase. League leaders swarmed Louisville for their midyear meetings to be capped off with an anticipated rematch of LouCity and Phoenix Rising. Phoenix had been struggling this season but with a week and a half of rest, they came to Kentucky with a point to try and prove and an old score to settle. Lineup Cameron Lancaster was again ruled out along with

Next Match – Louisville City vs Phoenix Rising – 07/20/2022

It’s a quick turnaround for Louisville City following the Memphis 901 match as the boys in purple return home to take on Phoenix Rising. Despite having only played once, both sides of this matchup would agree there is a semblance of a rivalry between the clubs given their statuses as traditional powerhouses of the league. Because of this, the USL made this the marquee event of their new USL Summer Showcase with several activities surrounding this midweek match. Unfortunately,

Match Recap – Memphis 901 vs Louisville City – 07/16/2022

The slaughtering of the bulls was a needed confidence boost for Louisville City, heading into a big road match against Memphis 901. A clash of the Eastern Conference titans. Number one versus number two. This match was a playoff-caliber test for both teams that would have big implications on the table. Memphis historically hasn’t performed well against City, but this 901 squad is a step above their past iterations. Could 901 prove they are the real deal or would LouCity solid

Next Match – Memphis 901 vs Louisville City – 07/16/2022

Louisville City’s dominant win over NY Red Bulls 2 served as a confidence booster heading into a much tougher matchup. Memphis 901 wasn’t a team people looked out for on the schedule, but this season they have caught the attention of the league. Memphis made it into the playoffs last season, occupying 3rd of the four who made it from the Central Division, but they made a quick exit at the hands of the Independence (who Louisville later beat). Currently, they sit a mere point

Match Recap – Louisville City vs New York Red Bulls 2 – 07/09/2022

Following a big win over the Birmingham Legion, Louisville City was set to have their final encounter with New York Red Bulls 2. In years past, NYRB2 had been a fierce rival of LouCity having squared off multiple times in the playoffs (2016, 2017, and 2018). In recent times, the fire between the two had died down due to a downturn in the Baby Bulls’ competitiveness. Louisville got the better of them in the last road trip to their house and now it was time for their last trip

Slugger Field vs Lynn Family Stadium

From Louisville City’s inception through the 2019 season, Slugger field served as its home. In 2020, Louisville’s cathedral of soccer, Lynn Family Stadium, opened its doors and become LouCity’s new home. Much has changed in terms of fan experiences since the move, but little has changed in terms of performance for the boys in purple… or has it. In this piece, we will look at the numbers behind LouCity’s performances before and after the stadium switch. Before we dive in, a fe

Next Match – Louisville City vs New York Red Bulls 2 – 07/09/2022

Louisville City’s home win over the Birmingham Legion put City first in the East and at three straight wins coming off their bye week. Next up, the New York Red Bulls 2. The Baby Bulls might be the worst team in the league. They currently only have 6 points after 17 games and recently lost their head coach. LouCity played them earlier in the season and took home all three points on the road. For the sake of your time, I’ll simply say that the NY Red Bulls 2 are near last in b

Match Recap – Louisville City vs Birmingham Legion – 07/02/2022

Coming off a road win in Hartford, Louisville City was faced with a clash against the Birmingham Legion, a team likely to make the playoffs. When LouCity took the trip south to play them earlier this season, they were only able to walk out with a point. Since that meeting, the Legion has improved. They arrived in Louisville on a four-win streak. They were looking to make it five while City hoped to continue the streak they have begun since coming off the bye week. Lineup With
