The Kickers and the City Stars currently hold a second-place tie in the league standings with Saturday’s match-up determining the outright place holder.

The Kickers meet the City Stars for the second and final time this season and hold a 1-0-3 record against them. The two teams last played in Cleveland on June 28 in the midst of Richmond ’s mid-season road stand — they battled to a scoreless draw.
The Kickers (9-4-2) and the City Stars (8-2-5), each with 29 points are tied for second place in the USL-2 standings and reside five points behind league-leading Charlotte. Richmond currently holds the tiebreaker, outnumbering the City Stars in wins.
Six teams qualify for postseason play with the top two teams at the end of the regular season receiving a bye to the semifinals and a guaranteed home game. Teams seeded three through six will play a single-game elimination round midweek. The Semifinal winners advance to the USL-2 Championship match on Sat., Aug. 23.
Both clubs clinched playoff berths last weekend when the Richmond Kickers topped the Pittsburgh Riverhounds 3-1 while the City Stars edged Crystal Palace Baltimore 1-0. For more information about the Kickers visit their web site by clicking here.
