DC Power FC are back on the field this afternoon as they take on Sporting Jacksonville on the road. This is a redo from the match that was canceled due to Hurricane Isaias back in early October.

Back then, it was a match that DC Power hoped to win as they tried to climb above the playoff line in the USL Super League standings. Now? The DC Power that walks into Hodges Stadium tonight is playoff bound for the first time in club history, and a win today will see them clinch at worst the 2 seed in the playoffs, which means they would have at least one guaranteed home playoff game. That’s something the players and head coach Omid Namazi have said they want to have.

They go up against a Sporting Jacksonville team that is now tied for 3rd with Lexington SC on points, though they have the 4 spot due to goal differential. They are also looking to get to the playoffs in their second season, and a win over DC could help them get on the verge with just a couple weeks remaining in the regular season. DC is looking to extend their club record 4-match win streak to 5 and keep them in a position to potentially clinch the Players’ Shield should Carolina drop points in their final two matches.
