Las Vegas’ winning streak of three games straight came to an end after drawing 1-1 against the Phoenix Rising last time out.
The Lights will have been all the more disappointed to not come away with all three points after Themi Antonoglou’s bizarre-but-fortunate finish from long range to open the scoring.
Oakland has lost five games in a row, meanwhile, and lost a lot of the swagger that not too long ago fired the club into the upper echelons of the Western Conference.
Almost two months have passed since the Roots last won 4-3 away to Phoenix, which is also around the same time Oakland last kept a clean sheet.
It bodes well for Ryan Martin’s side that they’re unbeaten in the past five meetings between these teams and have come out on top in the last two of those.
However, a dramatic shift from the team’s recent form is required if they’re to keep up that streak of superiority midweek.
