Alta vs Orange County SC: USL League One Cup Clash

Alta and Orange County SC meet again at Lancaster Municipal Stadium with both sides desperate to ignite their USL League One Cup campaign after poor starts in Group 2.

The fixture in Lancaster kicks off on 7 June 2026, with both teams sitting on zero points after two group matches. Alta are currently 6th with a goal difference of -3, having lost both games away from home and scoring just once (all record: 0-0-2, goals 1-4). Orange County SC are 5th, also on zero points but with a slightly better goal difference of -2 (0-0-2, goals 2-4). Recent form for both is identical: tail-2 form strip is L-L for each.

Previous Meeting

The key reference point is their last competitive meeting in the 2025 US Open Cup 3rd Round at the same venue, where Alta came from behind to draw 2-2 in normal time before winning 4-2 on penalties. That result underlines Alta’s comfort at Lancaster, even if current group-stage numbers show their attack struggling and no clean sheets yet. Orange County SC at least average 1.0 goal per game but concede 2.0, mirroring Alta’s defensive issues.

With no confirmed injuries listed, both coaches should have full squads available. Expect a tight, high-stakes group clash where a draw or a narrow one-goal margin either way looks most likely, with slight psychological edge to Alta from that recent cup shootout win.
