MATCH PREVIEW A rematch of the 2017 USL Cup Final beckons Monday when the Swope Park Rangers and Louisville City FC lock horns in the USL Championship regular season for the first time. The contest features a pair of teams that have advanced to the USL Championship every season since joining the league—Louisville since 2015 and the Rangers since 2016. Led by head coach Paulo Nagamura, the Rangers are hoping to bounce back from a 3-1 road loss to cross-state rivals Saint Louis FC last Saturday, April 27. Louisville, meanwhile, have won two straight matches under head coach John Hackworth, including Tuesday’s 2-1 triumph over expansion outfit Memphis 901 FC.
