WHAT TO WATCH FOR
The Greenville Triumph is slated for its third match in a week tomorrow night at 7:30 PM in Statesboro, G.A. The title of the Peach States Derby is on the line between Greenville and Tormenta FC as the two teams settle the final match in the series.
Greenville enters Saturday ahead of Tormenta in league rankings, despite its 1-0 loss to the Charlotte Independence on Wednesday night. Although unable to maintain the shutout, Triumph goalkeeper Jared Mazzola delivered one of his performances to date. Mazzola recorded nine saves on Wednesday, the most of any Triumph goalkeeper in a single match. Greenville holds a 7-6-4 record and sits fifth in the table after a seven-match unbeaten streak pushed the club back into playoff position.
Tormenta enters the match on a two-match win streak and hovering at the ninth spot in the league standings. Tormenta took the first match of the rivalry series on April 8th with a 2-0 win, but Greenville held them to a 1-1 draw in June to keep the trophy within reach. With a loss and draw to Tormenta, Greenville must secure a two-goal win or better tomorrow in order to claim the inaugural Peach State Derby trophy.
Winning scenarios are:
- TFC wins trophy with a win at home on July 22
- TFC wins trophy with a draw at home on July 22
- TFC wins trophy with a 0-1 loss against GVL on July 22
- GVL wins trophy with a 0-2 win (or better) against TFC on July 22
If needed a tiebreaker will be determined by first total goals, then away goals.
