With its final home game of the season, FC Edmonton will try to get back on the right track with the postseason looming. The Eddies (9W-6D-5L, 33 points Fall; 14-8-8, 50 Combined) have dropped the last two games, most recently in a 3-1 loss to Minnesota United, before taking on Jacksonville Armada FC. The Eddies have picked up four points in the two previous meetings against Sunday’s opponent. Coach Colin Miller has rested several regulars over the past two games, most notably goalkeeper Matt VanOekel, and may do the same against the Armada FC.

Jacksonville (4-8-8, 20 Fall; 5-12-13, 27 Combined) was in action on Wednesday night and played the role of spoiler with a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Charles Eloundou shined once again with his dribbling ability and strength on the ball, which was emphasized on his goal 36 seconds into the game against Miami. Zach Steinberger also played a key role in all three goals for coach Mark Lowry’s men. The Armada FC now looks to continue its strong finish with two games left.
