MATCH PREVIEW The Swope Park Rangers (1-7-4, 7 points) will play their second game in four days when they welcome Charlotte Independence (1-7-5, 8 points) to Children’s Mercy Park for the first time on Saturday. In their game on Wednesday, the Rangers lost in heartbreaking fashion to Loudoun United FC. In yet another highly competitive match, Felipe Hernandez scored his team leading fifth goal, Wilson Harris scored his second, and Alexsander added his fourth and fifth assists. The Rangers put forth a solid fight, but Connor Presley’s goal in the 87th minute was all too much for the Rangers, and Loudoun United escaped with all three points. Charlotte enters this match without a win in their last seven USL Championship matches. In that span, they have drawn with the Tampa Bay Rowdies, Hartford Athletic, Nashville SC and Pittsburgh Riverhounds. Charlotte is 0-3-4 on the road this season. Jim McGuinness is entering his first year as a coach in the USL Championship, but he has plenty of previous experience. The Irishman has worked for legendary club Celtic FC, and in the Chinese Super League, but he made his mark winning the All-Ireland Gaelic Football Championship.
