Eastern Conference Update

Tonight finds the Rowdies, on cruise control at the top of the table for most of the season, technically sitting in second based on the overall wins tiebreaker, after Indy drew level on points Wednesday night.

Tonight also marks the midpoint of the season, and a glance at the table shows some pretty significant trends - 5 losses or less? You’re a playoff team. Carrying a negative goal difference? Enjoy the early end to the season. It honestly wouldn’t be a shock if today’s top ten are the final top ten at the end of the season, with just some jockeying for position to take place.

Even though 6 of the current top ten have 2-3 games in hand on the Rowdies, the biggest threat is our old friends from the NASL, Indy Eleven, who have won their last 5, are unbeaten in 9, and look to be the biggest threat to the Rowdies hopes of taking the top spot in the conference into the playoffs. Don’t count out Red Bull 2 either...
