• They struggle to score
  West Coast FC Pre- Navy I average 1.2 goals/game (league avg 2.6); blanked in 1 of 4.

  A higher defensive line and an aggressive counter-press are low-risk here. Keep the back line connected to midfield so one long ball doesn't turn into a 1v1 — that is the only way this opponent scores.

• They leak goals — be greedy
  West Coast FC Pre- Navy I concede 4.5/game; worst result 0–5 at Sporting California USA Pre- RED I.

  Commit numbers forward, shoot early and often, and attack second balls. Goal difference is the tiebreaker on PPG, so keep playing to score for the full game — rotate players rather than pace.

• Swing game — small margins
  Win 59% / draw 15% / loss 25%.

  Games like this are decided by one set piece or one transition. Prioritise the strongest XI for the full game, be disciplined with fouls near the box, and have a clear late-game plan for both "protect the lead" and "chase".

• Confidence is low on their side
  West Coast FC Pre- Navy I have lost 4 straight (form: LLLL).

  Teams on losing runs go quiet after conceding. An early goal usually ends the contest — start fast.

• Away game
  Kickoff 10:30 AM at Robert A Curtis Park.

  Arrive 75 minutes early to see the surface and goal size; plan a longer dynamic warm-up after a drive. Away wins are worth the same 3 points — keep the routine identical to home.

• What a win does
  Legends FC PRE Black I sit 3rd on 1.75 PPG; we are on 1.75.

  A point moves us above Legends FC PRE Black I on PPG (if they don't play). GD is the next tiebreak, so every goal matters — keep attacking with a lead.
