The Florida Derby picks back up at Al Lang Stadium and offers a chance for both the Tampa Bay Rowdies and Fort Lauderdale Strikers to start building toward moving up the Fall Season Standings. Tampa Bay is coming into the game on the heels of a tough road trip of two shutout losses – 1-0 at Rayo OKC and 2-0 at Ottawa Fury FC. Heading back home, though, bodes well for the Rowdies (1W-2D-3L, 5 points). The club is unbeaten in its last five games in front of their home support.
The Strikers earned a dramatic win against Jacksonville Armada FC in their last game. Maicon Santos scored his fifth goal in the 1-0 win, which ended a four-game losing skid. Fort Lauderdale (1-1-4, 4) will look to get some revenge against its rival after falling, 1-0, on a Neill Collins goal in the Spring Season at Lockhart Stadium.
