FC Buffalo have two big home games remaining in their season, weekend visits from Cleveland Force and Erie Sports Center FC which will help determine our USL League Two playoff fate.
The first kickoff comes 1:30pm Sunday at Coyer Field against Cleveland, while the second happens under the lights at 7pm Saturday, July 12 at the same venue.
The men boast a 5-3-2 record, four points behind first-place Steel City in the Great Forest Division. Eight teams from the Central Conference qualify for the USL2 playoffs — five division winners and three runners-up. The divisions are the Great Forest, Great Lakes, Valley, Heartland, and Great Plains, and the three second-place teams with the highest points-per-game advance to the playoffs. Should points be level, goal differential, goals scored, and FIFA Fair Play quotients are next tie breakers.
TICKETS: July 6 vs Cleveland | July 12 vs Erie SCFC
Thirty-five teams make the USL2 National Playoffs, including eight from the South, Western, and Central Conferences. Eleven teams from the Eastern Conference make the playoffs, with five division winners earning byes and six other teams playing a first-round match on July 14 or 15 to qualify for the Round of 32 the following weekend.
