Head-to-Head: Rio Grande Valley FC has the advantage over the Union with a come-from-behind 2-1 win in the first-ever matchup between the sides on Saturday, May 14 at Cardinale Stadium, Monterey Bay's first-ever home loss.

Match Outlook: While the Crisp and Kelp's season is set to conclude at Saturday's final whistle, Rio Grande Valley FC needs at least a draw to clinch a spot in the Western Conference playoffs. With a loss, the Toros are at risk of missing out of the playoffs if Oakland Roots SC earn a draw and Las Vegas Lights FC win in their respective matches.

Connections: Monterey Bay F.C. defender Kai Greene spent three seasons with the Toros from 2016-2018, while midfielder James Murphy and defender Grant Robinson both played last season's campaign with Rio Grande Valley FC.

Additional Notes: In what will be the second all-time regular season meeting with Rio Grande Valley FC and the first at H-E-B Park, the Union will look to finish the campaign off with a victory. Monterey Bay F.C. is 4-11-1 so far this season on the road, while Rio Grande Valley FC is 7-7-2 as hosts.
