Match Recap: Louisville City vs Memphis 901 - 09/19/2020

On Saturday, Louisville City took on Memphis 901 in their final non-Group E opponent of the 2020 regular season. Coming off two wins over Indy and a win against Saint Louis, City entered the match red hot and was looking to keep that momentum going into the playoffs. Memphis, meanwhile, has had a rough time in Group G and recently parted ways with their head coach. Tim Howard’s team was already 0-2 against Louisville, and the third encounter was not looking promising. Given t

Match Recap: LIPAFC #4 – Indy Eleven vs Louisville City – 09/16/2020

On Wednesday, the two Group E powerhouses battled it out for the coveted first place spot. Louisville City, back on the road again, took on second place Indy Eleven in the final regular-season LIPAFC. With only one point separating the two sides, the winner would find themselves in first. Indy, who suffered a humiliating defeat to Lou City during their last encounter in Lucas Oil, was out for revenge and looking for their first win over City since 2018. Between playing at hom

After two matches on the road, Louisville City found themselves back in the comfort of Lynn Family Stadium for another critical Group E matchup. After a questionable win by Indy Eleven over Sporting Kansas City, the outcome of Saturday’s match against Saint Louis would determine if City could jump back into first or fall into third. Saint Louis has proven to be a worth adversary to Louisville City this weekend, having served Morados a loss at home and a draw back in STL. With

Match Recap: LIPAFC #3 – Indy Eleven vs Louisville City – 09/05/2020

On Saturday, Louisville City was off to Indianapolis for the third LIPAFC installment of 2020. With a St Louis win over Sporting Kansas on Friday, City found themselves in third and required a win to take jump both St Louis and Indy Eleven for first in Group E. The number of opportunities to breakaway in the group is dwindling as the regular season approaches its end. Their form has been good (unbeaten in five) but it needs to continue to secure a postseason spot. Between the

Match Recap: Saint Louis FC vs Louisville City – 08/29/2020

Coming off a BIG win against Indy Eleven on Wednesday, Louisville City hit the road for the first time since March (before ‘rona kicked into high gear) to take on our favorite frenemies, St Louis FC. Having had the luxury of staying put since the restart, an away test appeared as if it could cause a little disruption in the positive momentum Lou City had been building up. St Louis, who was lucky to not play on Wednesday, was just bumped to third in Group E with City’s win and

Match Recap: LIPAFC #2 – Louisville City vs Indy Eleven – 08/26/2020

While this may have only been a regular season match, it very much had a playoff-like feel to it. Just over the half-way point of the season, Louisville City’s next few games would greatly determine their postseason fate. To help increase their playoff odds, City was in need of a win against Indy Eleven. The first Louisville Indianapolis Proximity Association Football Contest of 2020 ended in a 1 -1 draw. That even affair was just the start of Lou City’s resurgence this seaso

The State of the Club – A 2020 Mid-Season Review

Where has time gone? We have already reached the halfway point of this strange 2020 season and there is a lot to digest. Louisville City began the season in their beautiful new home but lacked the swagger and dominant play that fans expect. Since these early woes, the team has rebounded and find themselves narrowly in front of St Louis in the standings at second place. The squad has had many ups and downs. As we enter the second half of the season, let’s take a look back and

Last night’s match provided fans a refreshing respite from Group E action. Loudoun United is a relatively unfamiliar foe who only joined the league in 2019. Having only played the D.C. United affiliate twice, Lou City entered the match with one win and one (ugly three-nill) loss against this squad last year. Although Loudoun’s prospects of making it out of Group F are all but a dream (a lowly 6% chance according to FiveThirtyEight), City has been growing more and more despera

Crunching Numbers: An Examination of Louisville City Player Statistics

I enjoy statistics (which you may be able to tell from the content of my tweets) so digging into player stats has been something I’ve been wanting to do. I’ve recently gotten ahold of a data set which I used to put together a few visuals I thought I’d share along with a few of my thoughts on them. Hope you enjoy! A few notes on these stats; these are the numbers according to FBRef.com for the 2015 – 2019 regular seasons (no playoff, Open Cup, etc. data). While there is (more
