With back-to-back home matches this week, Union Omaha can make this a huge week in their playoff chase by keeping up their 24-match league unbeaten streak at home. They’re edging closer to a top four spot and a coveted home playoff match in their first season at downtown Morrison Stadium too, meaning a win here against a Spokane team also battling for a home match in playoffs would be especially helpful. It’ll be a showdown at high noon for this one, too, with a midday, midweek kickoff to allow local Omaha students to get out of school to attend the match.
ABOUT SPOKANE VELOCITY FC
Spokane Velocity are stiff competition, and they never make it easy on Union Omaha… other than the 3-0 result in the 2024 USL League One Final. However, a quirk of this matchup is that the home team is undefeated in each of their nine matchups to date. In this side of the fixture, the Owls hold a 3-0-2 record against Spokane. That said, Spokane Velocity under Leigh Veidman are always an incredibly solid team, and on a points-per-game basis are right in the hunt for a home playoff match. They’ve also allowed the fewest shots in the league, presenting a stiff challenge for an Omaha team that’s gotten off the most shots of any team.
STUDENTS & EDUCATORS DAY
Today is our annual Students & Educators Day, presented by Supermercado and Family Fare! We’re partnering with schools across the Omaha metro to bus thousands of students and teachers downtown to Morrison Stadium for a fun-filled day. Not only will kids be learning about the beautiful game, but we’ll have plenty of educational exhibits along the concourse for them to explore, plus a mobile library.
