Oakland will host Western Conference Leader New Mexico United in the USL Championship on Saturday.
New Mexico United travels to California on Saturday to face the Oakland Roots with a vision of keeping its place atop the USL Championship’s Western Conference for at least one more week. The Black and Yellow lost 1-0 in its most recent trip to Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum almost one year ago, but current form suggests New Mexico is on a course to clinch its redemption this weekend. Dennis Sanchez’s men appear to be well-placed to top their half of the league once more this year, while the Roots sit 10th in the table and could be happy just to make a leap into the play-off places.

Oakland went without a win across its first five games of the new USL Championship season but has now displayed improved form in recent weeks, earning most of its wins on the road.
Former LA Galaxy forward Gavin Glinton has inspired his side to victory in their of their last six USL outings, including a first home win of the campaign against local rival Orange County.
New Mexico’s most recent trip up the west coast just last weekend ended with a 3-0 win over Orange County thanks in large part to two penalties courtesy of defender Jon-Talen Maples:
That win was enough to keep Sanchez’s men atop the Western Conference following back-to-back defeats against El Paso Locomotive and Phoenix Rising.
The pace-setter will hope a first win at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum since June 2022 can mark the beginning of a fresh streak, having pieced together a stretch of four straight wins at the start of the season.
