Racing Louisville FC
LOU play like a team that knows what it is: they win the ball back relentlessly (1.8 standard deviations above the league), built on a core of ball-winners. The flaw is just as clear: they struggle to find clean possession (1.0 SD below average). Everything runs through Thembi Kgatlana.
