Detroit City FC will face New Mexico United on Wednesday night at Rio Grande Credit Union Field at Isotopes Park, with coverage available on CBS Golazo Network and TUDN. Both teams are currently in close playoff races in their conferences, and the all-time series stands at 1-1-1 since Detroit joined the USL Championship in 2022.
Le Rouge is in great shape, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches and allowing only one goal from open play in their last eight outings. Their most recent match was a strong 4-1 victory over Orange County SC, featuring goals from Darren Smith, Ates Diouf, Jeciel Cedeño, and Alex Villanueva. Smith leads the team with 10 goals and three assists, while defensive leader Stephen Carroll has helped secure a solid defense that boasts eight clean sheets.
New Mexico enters this match after a 1-0 win against San Antonio FC, marking their first league victory since June. Luther Archimède scored the winning goal, while goalkeeper Kris Shakes has provided a steady presence in goal. On the wing, Dayonn Harris brings speed and creativity, helping to stretch defenses and create opportunities. Additionally, two milestones are approaching: veteran goalkeeper Alex Tambakis needs one more clean sheet to match the league’s all-time record, and local midfielder Sergio Rivas is close to reaching 10,000 career regular-season minutes.
With both teams sitting in sixth place in their conferences and only a small gap between them, Wednesday’s match in Albuquerque could be crucial for the playoff picture.
