SETTING THE SCENE
Sarasota Paradise hit the road for their second match this week as they travel to take on league leaders Union Omaha. The Paradise are coming off a convincing 3-2 win at home against Chattanooga Red Wolves, with three different goalscorers. They now turn their attention to a Union Omaha team that is unbeaten in their last five league matches, as well as unbeaten in their last 21 home games. The Paradise will look to replicate their victory against Omaha last time the two sides met, with the Paradise coming out on top 2-0 at Premier Sports Campus.
