Tampa Bay is one of four teams that can walk away with silverware in the Spring Season, but the Rowdies (4W-3D-2L, 15 points) will need to break down Jacksonville’s defense early and often to make up the necessary goal differential to move into the top spot in the standings. A win by six goals or more is needed for Tampa Bay to win the Spring Season. The Rowdies’ attack has been clicking of late with Joe Cole and Georgi Hristov leading the charge. The Rowdies have won back-to-back league games, most recently a 2-1 victory over Ottawa Fury FC.

Jacksonville (1-3-5, 6) has been creating plenty of attacking opportunities of its own, but has yet to really reap the rewards. Welsh youth international Danny Barrow has been a catalyst in recent weeks. After showing positive signs and picking up two draws in a row – the latest in a scoreless affair with the Carolina RailHawks – the Armada FC will have confidence at home against Tampa Bay.
