No. 5 Greenville Triumph SC (8-6-5) face No.6 Forward Madison FC (8-8-4) at Legacy Early College Field as the race for a playoff position tightens.
What To Watch For:
Hot Streaks: Greenville Triumph takes the field after finding themselves at the top of the latest USL League One Power Rankings. The Triumph are playing on a three-match win streak and have won four of their last five overall. On the other side, Forward Madison FC is coming off a 3-point drop in the Week 20 Power Rankings (No. 3) after previously holding the No. 1 spot in Week 19 before a loss to Richmond. Greenville sits at 29 points (5th in the league) while Forward Madison sits at 6th in the league with 28 points. With playoffs lurking around the corner, this match between the two hottest teams in the league has major implications for the post-season.
Flank Play Continuation: Triumph attackers have seen much more success in recent games with services from the flanks. Greenville showcases speed and creativity in players like Omar Mohamed and Dominic Boland (TOTW Week 20) making the Triumph attack more dynamic and unified. Both Boland and Mohamed scored their first goals in league play during last weekend’s 3-1 victory, giving the Triumph 10 different players tallied in the “Goal” column.
