Storylines

Oakland Roots: Dropping a surprising match to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, this is a good time for the Roots to get back on track. Founded in 2018, the Roots have quickly become an iconic brand in American soccer while also having people in the ownership group such as Marshawn Lynch, Jason Kidd and G-Eazy.

Sacramento Republic: Most well known for their U.S. Open Cup success, Sacramento got as far as the final before falling to Orlando City SC in 2022. As the talent gap between Major League Soccer and USL changes, Sacramento have been one of the teams to take advantage of that. They've been one of the most successful road teams in the USL Championship this season so despite stepping into a hostile environment, they'll have a plan.

Prediction

Sacramento will continue their undefeated run on the road picking up all three points in Oakland. Pick: Oakland Roots 1, Sacramento Republic 2
