Know Before You Go: Union Omaha vs. Texoma FC
Published on September 6, 2025 under United Soccer League One (USL1)
Union Omaha News Release
We're into the final two months of the regular season, in which Union Omaha has seven home matches left (compared to three away matches). Los Búhos earned six points in a week last time out, with wins over Charlotte and AV Alta, but have been off since the latter match on August 23rd. It's a much-needed rest as they gear up for the home stretch, sitting just a point off the playoffs but with a game or two in hand over all but one of the teams above them. The Owls can pick up where they left off here against a team who visited Werner Park for the first time in late July and capitulated to the home side with a shorthanded 3-1 defeat.
ABOUT TEXOMA FC
It's been a bit of a roller coaster for Texoma FC this season. After a rough start was ended by the franchise's first-ever win coming at the expense of Union Omaha, they went on an eight-match unbeaten run to launch themselves as high as sixth in the USL League One table. They've come straight back down to earth now, though, clinging to the final playoff spot by a single point over the Owls. The underlying metrics are harsh on them too, with American Soccer Analysis slotting them at the bottom of the league, in large part due to a mere 20.65 xG (expected goals) on the season. By comparison, Union Omaha has 38.01 expected goals, second-best in the league... and in actuality, both have found the back of the net 28 times. Texoma's attack heavily revolves around winger Philip "Ajmeer" Spengler, who has seven goals and 23 chances created on the year. There's also a familiar face on the Texas-based outfit, with right back Will Perkins becoming a key figure for them after a short spell with the Owls in 2024.
