What happened: Telasco Segovia said the next two matches are crucial because they come against the teams sitting third and first in the table. He called for a collective step forward with all six points important to the title chase.

Why it matters: The side has won only two of its past eight matches across all competitions. Consecutive games against clubs above it offer a direct chance to close the gap.

What to watch: The first test kicks off Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET. Another match against a first-place opponent follows.
