In a surprising turn of events in the USL Championship, Rhode Island FC dominated the Tampa Bay Rowdies at Al Lang Stadium, securing a resounding 3-0 victory. The AI had predicted a Rowdies win, making this result a clear upset. Rhode Island FC controlled possession with 57.9% and capitalized on their chances, scoring through Clay Holstad just before halftime, followed by Zachary Herivaux and Noah Fuson in the second half. The Rowdies struggled to convert their 14 shots, with only 5 hitting the target, and their woes were compounded by a late red card to Laurence Wyke. Rhode Island's solid defense, combined with timely saves from their goalkeeper, stifled the Rowdies' attack.
Looking at the teams' recent form, the Rowdies have been struggling, losing their last two USL Championship matches and getting eliminated from the U.S. Open Cup. Their upcoming match against Louisville City FC, a team that has beaten them recently, looks challenging. Louisville City has been inconsistent, mixing wins, losses, and draws in their recent games. Rhode Island FC, on the other hand, seems to be gaining momentum, coming off a win against Birmingham Legion FC prior to this match and are preparing to face Pittsburgh Riverhounds next.
Considering their recent performances, Rhode Island FC appears to be in better form than the Rowdies. Rhode Island FC is now undefeated in two straight matches after losing three of four prior to this two-game stretch. The Rowdies, mired in a slump, have failed to secure a victory in their last five matches, a stark contrast to their earlier season form. In the context of previous encounters, Rhode Island FC's victory breaks a pattern, having lost the two most recent matches against Tampa Bay. This win could be a turning point for Rhode Island FC as they prepare for their next match against Pittsburgh Riverhounds, a team that Rhode Island has struggled against in the past, drawing and losing the last two matches. Conversely, the Rowdies need to regroup quickly to avoid a prolonged slide as they face a tough Louisville City FC side in their next USL Championship match.
