South Georgia Tormenta FC (11-9-7, 5th) will look to even up the all-time series against the Richmond Kickers (13-7-7, 1st) as the hosts open up the soon-to-be-completed Tormenta Stadium. The Kickers are unbeaten in their last six, while the Ibises have only dropped one match in their last six which came against the Kickers on Sept. 7. A pivotal match, a win for Richmond would lock up the one seed, and a win for South Georgia in their inaugural match at Tormenta Stadium would secure the hosts their first-ever postseason berth.
TRM - Joshua Phelps: Phelps knocked in the match winner against Madison last week to confirm his third consecutive season with a goal for Tormenta FC. Phelps went on to win 3 of his 4 duels and reeled in four recoveries.
RIC - Ethan Bryant: Bryant scored his third goal of the season in a 1-1 draw against Central Valley last Saturday. Bryant went on to win three fouls, earn four recoveries and tally two clearances.
