A showdown for one of the top four spots in the USL Championship Western Conference table will be at stake when San Antonio FC hosts FC Tulsa on Saturday at Toyota Field.
SAFC (9-5-8, 32 points), fifth in the conference standings, and Tulsa (10-6-5, 35 points), which is ahead of San Antonio in fourth place, kick off at 7:30 p.m.
With eight games remaining in the regular season, SAFC is trying to climb up the Western table, as nabbing one of the top four spots would allow the club to host a first-round playoff game. The USL Championship playoffs start in November.
SAFC's playoff chances got a big boost last Saturday in Albuquerque after a 2-1 win over New Mexico United. With the victory, San Antonio knocked New Mexico out of first place in the Western Conference standings and halted the United's 13-match unbeaten streak. It was New Mexico's first loss since May.
The big win came at the right time for SAFC, which had lost two straight games at home coming into the New Mexico match and had been shutout in both matches, the first time this season San Antonio had lost two consecutive matches at Toyota Field and had been shutout in back-to-back games on its home pitch.
