Swope Park Rangers Preview VS Rio Grande Valley Toros FC

The Swope Park Rangers snapped their three-game winless streak against the Tulsa Roughnecks last weekend. With that win, SPR jumped from 12th place to 8th place in the Western Conference standings, and also luckily have played one game less than most teams above them.

The Rangers next opponent will be a fellow expansion side, Rio Grande Valley FC Toros. RGVFC are one of those Western Conference teams that have the same amount of games played as SPR and are sitting in fifth place with a record of 3-2-2. Needless to say, this is a game that both teams desperately need in order to stay or get into the top half of the Western Conference

I don’t see Coach Mark Dos Santos making any changes from the starting eleven that beat Tulsa.
