AGAINST THE RANGERS
Swope Park has dominated the season series with the Roughnecks, winning each of the three prior meetings. In the second match of the season, the Rangers recorded a 2-1 victory at ONEOK Field.
They won by the same score on May 14 in Kansas City before posting a 3-0 victory two weeks ago in KC.
ROUGHNECKS FC
*Tulsa will be trying to end an eight-match winless streak in the outing.
*The Roughnecks were shut out 2-0 last Saturday in San Antonio, marking the sixth time in the last seven outings that they have been held without a goal.
*TRFC will be without the services of midfielder David Abidor. Abidor will be serving a mandatory one-match suspension after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season in the loss to San Antonio.
*Goalkeeper Alex Mangels may also not be available after being taken off with a leg injury in Saturday’s match.
SWOPE PARK
*The Rangers will come into the match after posting a 3-0 victory in Oklahoma City Sunday evening.
*The result vaulted Swope Park into the fifth spot in the Western Conference table. Wednesday’s match will be important for the Rangers as the top four spots in the conference will host first-round playoff matches.
*Statistically, the Rangers are led this season by Mark Gonzalez. The forward leads the team with nine goals and is second on the squad with four assists.
*Gonzalez has not scored in the previous three matches against the Roughnecks. Dane Kelly and Tyler Pasher have each scored twice against TRFC
