Looking to extend on their impressive run of form, El Paso Locomotive will host a struggling Portland Timbers II in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Starting with the hosts, enjoying a bright run of form at the back end of the 2019 USL campaign, El Paso Locomotive have moved into pole position to clinch a play-off finish. In their 32 matches this season, they have recorded 12 wins, 11 draws, and nine defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 33 in return. With a points tally of 47, they currently sit eighth in the Western Conference and hold a two-point buffer from slipping out of the top-eight. As for their recent run of results, Locomotive are unbeaten in their last five USL matchups and it should be noted that they are enjoying a six-match unbeaten run on home soil.

As for the visitors, enduring a very sluggish end to the season, Portland Timbers II have already missed out on securing a play-off finish in the Western Conference. In their 32 USL matches this year, they have recorded 10 wins, eight draws, and 14 defeats, scoring 63 and conceding 65 in return. Now sat seven points adrift of the top-eight with two matches remaining, it should also be noted that they hold the third-worst defensive tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, Portland have lost their last three matches on the bounce and have shipped 11 goals on that losing run.
