The Chattanooga Red Wolves will host Forward Madison FC on Saturday for their last match at CHI Memorial Stadium of the 2020 season. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 1:00 PM EST, and it will be the second meeting between the two sides of the season. The #6 Chattanooga Red Wolves currently have 18 points, while #8 Forward Madison FC have 17 points. Both teams have only 3 games remaining to be played, as the season winds to a close, and the race for 2nd place tightens. Neither team has been able to pick up a win in their last three matches, and both sides desperately need to change that if they want to stay in the race for the final. The Red Wolves trail the second place Richmond Kickers by just 5 points, and they will have the opportunity to play Richmond as one of their remaining matches, which offers them a chance to overtake them if they can take care of business this weekend.Gaining 3 points today will prove to be crucial and will narrow that gap to be within striking distance once CRW plays Richmond on the road. The Red Wolves will be hoping for Union Omaha and North Texas SC to drop their remaining games, in order to close the gap in the battle for 2nd place.
