Carolina Core FC will have to find a way to break down Connecticut United’s strong defense, who currently rank second in the league in shots conceded. Despite the defensive pressure, CT United find themselves on the opposite end of the table in goals allowed, conceding 28 this season. The Core enter this matchup with plenty of attacking momentum after outshooting Huntsville 21-5. The Foxes will need to maintain that offensive pressure and capitalize on their opportunities in front of goal in order to get past one of the league's strongest backlines.
