The business end is Sunday at 2 p.m. ET at Robert E. Rich All-High Stadium, as FCB hosts Detroit in the hopes of lifting hardware at home.

Started by supporters’ groups in 2012, FC Buffalo has finished second to Detroit but ahead of AFC Cleveland in the last three iterations of the Rust Belt Derby. Cleveland did not schedule Detroit this season with the clubs separated into divisions.
