Union Omaha roll back into Morrison Stadium on a high, having won a pair of road matches against stiff competition in Fort Wayne and Chattanooga. That run of form has not only propelled them to a winning road record on the year, but it’s kept them atop the league at a time when those just below them have been nipping at their heels. Now, they look to tie the all-time USL League One regular season record for consecutive matches unbeaten at home, with them standing on 20 going into this nationally televised fixture. One more fun subplot to this match? Both head coaches, interim Brian Ownby and Owls’ coach Vincenzo Candela, are former Kickers players.
ABOUT RICHMOND KICKERS
It’s been an odd time for the USL stalwarts. While Richmond are only 1-1-8 on the road this season (and haven’t achieved a road result since May), they are coming off two straight wins along with a week and a half of rest to get amped up for this one. However, there’s a stark contrast in the attacking fortunes of both squads, with Union Omaha nearly doubling up Richmond’s goals scored total. On an individual level, the Owls have six players with more expected goals than Richmond’s highest-ranking expected scorer (Josh Kirkland, with 3.32 xG). Oh yes, and Darren Sawatzky, who had been their head coach and sporting director since 2019, was bought out by future USL League One side Sporting Cascades, meaning that interim head coach Brian Ownby will be piloting the Kickers into this match.
PRIDE NIGHT
Join us for our annual Pride Night match! We’re excited to make this the most colorful one yet, with local LGBTQ+ artists displaying their works on the concourse, chalk art over by the supporter’s section on the south end of the stadium, and performances by River City Mixed Chorus! We’ll have plenty of allied organizations tabling at the match as well for you to meet!
