PREVIEW
After a strong road performance resulted in a 3-0 win over Miami FC on April 18 at Pitbull Stadium, Phoenix Rising returns home to face the Colorado Switchbacks FC with momentum on its side. The three-goal victory marked the club’s first win outside the Valley in 2026, highlighted by forward Ihsan Sacko’s second brace in as many league matches and goalkeeper Patrick Rakovsky’s third clean sheet in all competitions.
This weekend, Rising is tasked with the red-hot Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, which has outscored opponents 7-1 over its last two matches, knocking MLS side Sporting Kansas City out of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in the process. Rising is 8-7-3 all-time in the series and is looking to build on past success, which includes a 4-1 win in the last meeting at 38th & Washington on August 3, 2025. Historically, Rising has been strong at home against the Switchbacks, posting a 5-2-2 record, a trend they’ll aim to extend.
“The focus and desire to want to win in this league and make it to the final, everyone is on the same mindset to get there,” defender Adrian Pelayo said. “You can tell we trust one another now that we’re further into the season.”
