North Carolina FC team news

North Carolina FC, under coach John Bradford, enter the fixture aiming to halt a two-match losing streak but retain confidence from strong home performances. The attack is led by Evan Conway and Pedro Dolabella, each with four goals, while playmaker Mikey Maldonado leads the team with six assists and has created 31 chances already this season.

Across the campaign, NCFC have notched 21 goals and created 114 chances, reflecting a multi-pronged offense. Defensive mainstay Conor Donovan remains available and in form, having contributed both defensive leadership and a dramatic stoppage-time equalizer in their last encounter with Indy. There are no reports of fresh injuries or suspensions affecting the first-choice lineup, so NCFC should be able to field a full-strength squad as they look to continue a home streak that’s seen them unbeaten in 20 of their last 24 home USL matches.

Indy Eleven team news

Indy Eleven arrive on the heels of a resilient run, splitting their 15 matches evenly at 5-5-5 and boasting the fifth-best attack in the league with 24 goals. Top scorers Romario Williams, Elvis Amoh, and Jack Blake have four goals each, while creative midfielder Aodhan Quinn adds another dimension with three goals and six assists, matching NCFC’s Maldonado among league leaders.

Indy have seen strong squad continuity, and recent victories have come with contributions from a deep roster, including reliable defensive work from Hunter Sulte in goal. The squad is not currently hampered by significant injuries or suspensions, allowing coach Sean McAuley to field an experienced and cohesive side.
