SETTING THE SCENE
Sarasota Paradise continues their push for the playoffs as they welcome Richmond Kickers to Premier Sports Campus this Saturday, October 10. The Paradise aim to bounce back from a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to Charlotte Independence last week that saw the visitors score the winning goal in the final seconds of stoppage time. The Kickers enter this matchup at the bottom of the League One table, having won just one of their previous five league games.
The two sides previously squared off in Richmond on July 3, with the game ending in a goalless draw.
PLAYER TO WATCH
Romain Gall, FW – The former U.S. Men’s National Team player has made his presence known in the Paradise attack since signing with the club, scoring two goals and providing an assist in six games. With a keen eye for openings and quickness down the pitch, Gall will look to pick apart the Richmond defense on Saturday and provide the attacking spark for the Paradise.
