After a successful cup tie during the week, the Oklahoma City Energy FC will return home to Taft Stadium on Saturday night to play California side Orange County SC. Both clubs will be heading into the match after grabbing wins in their respective U.S. Open Cup matches. The OKC Energy defeated amateur side Moreno Valley FC, 5-1, while Orange County won their game against PDL team FC Golden State Force, 5-2.
Although both sides were victorious during the midweek, the two Western Conference teams remain below the playoff line. Orange County SC sits ninth in the conference, only one spot below the playoff life, and the Energy stands fourteenth, one spot above the bottom.
