The Sarasota Paradise continue their fight for a USL 2 Playoff spot Wednesday night, welcoming in Tampa Bay United for a clash of two foes. Both teams are riding multi-game winning streaks since they last played each other to a 4-4 draw on June 12.
The Paradise (6-1-2) are coming off a 2-1 win over St Petersburg FC on Saturday night, propelled by Will Pierce’s two goals. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay (5-1-3) defeated division leaders Miami AC 3-2 to reinsert themselves into the playoff picture.
The match is headlined by the team’s two strikers, Seth Mahlmeister and Daniel Lugo, who come in as the top two goal scorers in the South Florida Division and are both within the top 20 goal scorers league-wide.
This match is crucial for the Paradise in their fight for a playoff spot, as they remained deadlocked with Miami AC for the league lead after the latter’s win over St Pete on Monday.
