TULSA – It’s back to Group D action for FC Tulsa on Wednesday night as the club hosts Rio Grande Valley FC Toros at 7 p.m. at ONEOK Field. FC Tulsa is looking to bounce back quickly after Saturday’s loss to Sporting Kansas City II, because with just eight matches remaining, every point is crucial in the fight for the playoffs. Three points on Wednesday night would put FC Tulsa level with Austin Bold FC on 13 points and second place in Group D, setting up a pivotal doubleheader down in Texas next week.

Scouting Rio Grande Valley FC Toros
Points have been tough to come by for the team from the Valley, as it’s managed to secure just three draws in 10 matches. Most recently, RGV FC have fallen at home 3-1 to San Antonio and 3-2 to Bold FC.
Offensive production has been the biggest weak spot from RGV–the club have mustered just eight goals in its 10 matches. Defender Robert Castellanos leads the team with two goals on the season, including one in FC Tulsa’s 2-1 win back at the beginning of August.
Storylines to Watch
Quick Turnaround – FC Tulsa must prepare quickly for Wednesday having played on Saturday night. This fixture congestion will continue throughout the beginning of September, as the club has upcoming matches on Wednesday, Saturday and Tuesday down in Austin, and then the following Saturday against Energy FC.
Fight for the playoffs – With Austin Bold’s draw on Sunday and FC Tulsa’s loss on Saturday, Bold FC sits just three points ahead of FC Tulsa for the second spot having played one more match than Tulsa. The gap remains for FC Tulsa to go level Bold FC, should it get three points on Wednesday.
Tulsa comes in Twos – Through eight matches in 2020, FC Tulsa’s results have all come in pairs. Opening draws against Sacramento and OKC were followed by wins at RGV and Saint Louis. Another pair of draws against San Antonio and Austin and now a pair of losses to SAFC and SKCII have Tulsa where it is now. FC Tulsa will be looking to break that trend and rattle off more than a pair of wins starting Wednesday.
