The Charlotte Independence return to USL action after a midweek shocker in which they defeated New England Revolution 1-0 in the Fourth Round of the US Open Cup.  For the Independence, they are taking on the Charleston Battery who have tasted defeat just one time.

The goal for the Independence: win another one at home.

The Eastern Conference Table:

Rochester Rhinos 29 13 8 0 5
Charleston Battery 24 13 6 1 6
Richmond Kickers 24 14 6 2 6

What to Watch For:

1)  Ramblewood is Open (mostly):  The home pitch for the Independence will make its debut this weekend, but it has not been without controversy:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">What happened to &quot;doing Ramblewood right&quot; like <a href="https://twitter.com/CLTIndependence">@CLTIndependence</a> said last week? Why are we now dealing w/ a 25% finished stadium? <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/COYJ?src=hash">#COYJ</a></p>&mdash; Crown Town Soccer (@crowntownsoccer) <a href="https://twitter.com/crowntownsoccer/status/611950656954466304">June 19, 2015</a></blockquote>

2)  A Hangover? The victory for Charlotte on Wednesday was such a remarkable thing and the Lads gave their all, it makes you wonder if they will suffer a hangover against Charleston today.  Charleston had a rough week as well dropping their fourth round match to Orlando City in PK's.  Needless to say, Charleston will be inspired and the Independence could suffer from a bit of "big-win-itis."

How to Watch:
