Head Coach: Ian Cameron
Key Players to Watch:
Forward Madison
Raiko Arozarena: The Cuban goalkeeper played his first game in the Pink and Blue against Tormenta, and he impressed from the get go. Arozarena faced 14 shots and held South Georgia scoreless en route to a 2-0 victory. Expect the 25-year-old keeper to bounce back after the Fuego match and have an effective time defending the goal against South Georgia.
Eric Leonard: Leonard rejoined the ‘Mingos on Wednesday after he suffered an injury in the squad’s September 10th match against Chattanooga. The Illinois native currently leads his club in clearances (87), blocks (17), and interceptions (41). Now that he’s back in the lineup and only getting healthier, expect Leonard to continue to do what he’s done all season: make smart passes and shut down the opponent’s top strikers.
Abdou Mbacke-Thiam: The Senegalese striker has had a difficult time creating chances recently. Mbacke-Thiam is second on the squad in shots on target with 13, although he hasn’t scored a goal in over a month. If the ‘Mingos want to take down Tormenta again, they’ll need their 30-year-old striker to step up and get some shots on target on Saturday.
