RICHMOND, Va. — The Richmond Kickers clinched a spot in the 2021 USL League One playoffs, Friday afternoon, following Toronto FC II’s 1-0 win over New England Revolution II that eliminated New England from playoff contention.
The Kickers currently sit in fourth place in the USL League One standings as they prepare to play their regular-season finale at FC Tucson in Arizona, Saturday night.
The third and fourth seeds host the first round of the playoffs and the Reds control their destiny to host their first home playoff match at City Stadium since 2014.
A win at Tucson guarantees that the Kickers have a chance to extend their 13-match unbeaten streak and four-game winning streak at home. If Richmond draws against Tucson, they will need North Texas SC to draw or lose against first-place Union Omaha to still clinch fourth place and another match at City Stadium in 2021.
The match between the Richmond Kickers and FC Tucson in Tucson, Ariz. kicks off at 10:00 p.m. EST. Fans can watch the match locally on WTVR CBS 6.3 (Comcast 206/Verizon FiOS 466) or on ESPN+. Fans can also listen to the match in Spanish on Ultra Radio Richmond WULT 94.1FM/1540AM.
