Carolina Core FC heads to Tennessee this Sunday for a high-stakes road test against Chattanooga FC. Coming off a thrilling comeback win, the Foxes are looking to carry that momentum into this weekend's clash. Here are the four key stats to watch for our Matchweek 12 matchup.
2 – Lundeen’s Instant Impact
Corey Lundeen certainly made the most of his moment last weekend. Making his season debut as a halftime substitute against Chicago Fire II, the playmaker needed less than 10 minutes to turn the tide. Lundeen notched two assists to spearhead the Core’s comeback, and his ability to unlock defenses will be a primary focus for the Foxes as they head into Chattanooga.
7 – Chapter Seven
This Sunday marks the seventh all-time encounter between Carolina Core FC and Chattanooga FC. Though Chattanooga leads the all-time series 3-2-1, the Foxes hold the edge from their last meeting in September 2025, where they secured an extra point in a 6-5 penalty shootout following a 0-0 draw.
16 – Versatility on Display
Versatility was the name of the game last week as Mohamed Diakite (#16) stepped in at center back for the Foxes. Usually a fixture in the midfield, Diakite anchored the backline with composure before pushing up-field to slot home the game-winning goal.
93 – Aguirre’s Passing Precision
Robinson Aguirre has become a familiar face in the Starting XI recently, earning back-to-back starts in the midfield. Aguirre currently leads the team with an impressive 93% pass completion percentage, highlighting the 21-year-old’s ability to distribute the attack and help dictate the tempo of the match.
