Jagermeister Cup Group 6 Match 1, Tormenta vs Triumph
South Georgia will play hosts on Saturday as Greenville Triumph comes into town to face Tormenta FC in their first meeting of this year. The teams have faced each other 4 times in the past year with Greenville winning all 4 matches. Tormenta coming off a 3-2 loss to Charlotte in USL1 play will be looking to correct their form and grab 3 points from Greenville.
In order to do so, Tormenta will need to lock onto Greenville forward David Leonardo Castro who has 3 goals so far this year. Greenville has conceded 7 goals so far this season in 6 games. Greenville has only scored and conceded more than 1 goal all year. They have been able to have a 55% possession rate with an 80% pass success this year.
Tormenta will need to bring the same attack force they did against Portland in their last home game where they came out quick and put pressure on Portland early and often. With the home crowd behind him, we've already seen Austin Pack can play incredibly well and hold teams to his own. So, which team will get those big first 3 points of the Jagermeister Cup and get a quick start to their head to head play on the season?
