The U12s have already played each other once but all five teams are in action against each other this weekend. Looking at some of the results and players on both teams, I think Concorde can give AU a real challenge in a couple of age groups. AU should have most if not all of their YNT players back as well.
Hopefully I'll be at Pace Academy for the U18 and U16 games, it should be fun to see some of the state's best players going at it. I'd love to hear anyone else's thoughts about any age group.

Yes it should be a great weekend. The CF 03's are pretty strong. Should be a great match. 2-1 CF
The 04's is hit and miss. The CF teams started out strong but with some injuries it could be a long day for them. The keepers will be busy.
The CF 02's will get killed for sure.
The 00's (u15/16) I think 3-1 AtlUTD.
The U18 im going with upset here CF- 2-1
Going to be fun

AU U16's beat Philadelphia Union 4-1 so I'm betting more like 7-0 for the AU '00s (sorry, Concorde!).

Wow 7-0. Pretty bold. I don't think it will be as huge as you think. But you never know.

Yea, based on what I've seen of the U18s, it should be a great game. CF's U18s have picked up some nice results so far. AU has a stronger squad (especially if the two homegrowns are there), but a result for CF wouldn't surprise me too much. There's also several former GA United players on both sides of this one, so that could be a fun subplot.
The U16s will probably be less of a contest. AU has yet to play a team that can hang with them physically and talent-wise for a full match, and if the Red Bulls couldn't do it, I don't see it happening Saturday. I do think Concorde will score, they have some good attacking talent and AU usually starts mostly 01s/02s in defense.

I was at Pace for the older teams. U18s finished 5-2 AtlUtd. It was more competitive than the scoreline shows, but AU also missed several easy chances.
U16s was 4-0 AtlUtd, but it wasn't that close. AU had their 4-0 lead after 30 mins and basically played possession the rest of the way.
Both teams are heading to Florida next weekend, including AUFC vs Orlando City on Sunday. That should be a great battle.
