No. 3 Greenville Triumph SC at FC Tucson

No. 3 Greenville Triumph SC travel to the West Coast to face FC Tucson on Tuesday night marking the series finale between the two clubs. Greenville and Tucson are tied at 1-1.

What To Watch For:

Strike First, Strike Fast: Last time these two clubs met, Greenville scored three goals in the first thirty minutes of action. More often than not, when Greenville can get on the board first, the team does well to hold its lead and come out of the game with three points. However, the first matchup between Greenville and Tucson saw exactly the opposite. Triumph scored first only to give up three unanswered Tucson goals. But with Tucson working through a slump late in the season (and approaching playoff elimination), the team is in a vulnerable state to be eliminated from games early on. So, if Triumph SC scores anything similar to the 4-0 stomping of Tucson just 11 days ago, this could mark Greenville's 8th multi-goal game of the season.

GOALMEZ: Carlos Gomez has Tucson's number, scoring the club's first ever hat trick to help lead the Triumph to a 4-0 victory. He up'd his goal tally to six after scoring one goal in the 3-1 victory over TFCII last Friday. Can he continue his hot streak in the series finale to make it a three game streak?

Playoff Breakdown: Last week, we eluded to a potential playoff berth coming soon for the Triumph. The breakdown looked more complicated last week. With the 3-1 win over TFCII, the magic number dropped down to four points, meaning Triumph SC had three matches to gain four points (1 win and 1 tie). With favorable league-wide results and schedules, that magic number has now dropped to three. What does this mean? With a win, we'll be IN. Yes, Greenville Triumph SC is three points away from clinching a spot in the playoffs with three matches left to play in the regular season.
