Locomotive kicks off a series of home games with its match against Real Monarchs SLC. After picking up a point on the road in Albuquerque against New Mexico United behind a scoreless draw and controlling the second half in a 2-1 win over San Antonio FC, El Paso is eager to get back home and keep momentum on its side. The upcoming home stretch includes competition against Real Monarchs, San Antonio FC, and Austin Bold FC, all within a seven-day period. It will be a tough stretch; However, recent weeks have proved the depth of the Locomotive squad and Coach Lowry’s side is ready to answer the challenge.
This won’t be the first time Locomotive and the Monarchs have met in recent weeks. At the start of July, the El Paso side traveled to Utah for its second match of the season against Real Monarchs, taking home three points off a 3-1 win that saw goals from Lucho Solignac, Aaron Gomez, and Diego Luna. While Locomotive is on a five-game unbeaten streak and over one calendar year undefeated at home, the Monarchs have struggled, losing three of their last four games. Monarchs have never been the better against Locomotive in regular season and will have their work cut out for them when they visit Southwest University Park on Saturday.
