NFPL Matchweek 13 Preview
The National Futsal Premier League returns to the court for Matchweek 13 with 3 games! With playoffs right around the corner, every point matters. Get all the details here.
Columbus Futsal (H) VS. Futsal Factory Academy (A)
Futsal Factory Academy and Columbus Futsal meeting for the second and last time in the regular season on Saturday night in Columbus. The two clubs met last in Matchweek 6 that resulted in a 5-3 victory for Futsal Factory Academy.
Columbus Futsal have improved steadily over the course of the season and may be finding more of their footing. A win at home in Matchweek 12 over Futsal Indy will have them feeling confident as the Michigan club visit on the back of a 2-game losing streak.
KEY PLAYERS:
Columbus Futsal:
• Yul Illidge
• Victor Barbosa
• Zak Boggs
Futsal Factory Academy:
• Robert Damron
• Ahmed Zaky
• Drew Ducker
DETAILS:
• Date: Saturday, April 2nd
• Time: 7:00 PM EST
• Location: Westwood Fieldhouse
• Streaming: Columbus Futsal Facebook
Futsal Indy (H) VS. Cadence SFC (A)
The reverse fixture between Futsal Indy and Cadence SFC was less than a week ago in Matchweek 12, as the depleted visitors held on to an even game for about 20 minutes before Cadence swept them away. With a deeper bench and the home support behind them, this game will likely be much tougher for Cadence SFC and Futsal indy will hope to take advantage of an opportunity to leapfrog Cadence in the standings.
KEY PLAYERS:
Futsal Indy:
• Dudu Oliviera
• Dennis Sehic
Cadence SFC:
• Josue Pfrommer
• Guilherme Nunes
• Edrik Padilla
DETAILS:
• Date: Saturday, April 2nd
• Time: 8:00PM EST
• Location: Irsay Family YMCA at CityWay
• Streaming: Futsal Indy YouTube
• Tickets: At The Door
Grand Rapids OLé (H) VS. CADENCE SFC (A)
Cadence SFC face the unenviable task of lining up against the league-leading Grand Rapids OLé next. A Matchweek 9 saw OLé run away with an 11-2 victory in Illinois. Having lost just once at home all season, the safe bet would be to expect Grand Rapids to secure another 3 points in this match, despite a recent run of quality performances for the young guns at Cadence SFC.
KEY PLAYERS:
Grand Rapids OLé:
• Adrian Diaz
• Jonathan Stout
• Cole Russell
Cadence SFC:
• Josue Pfrommer
• Guilherme Nunes
• Edrik Padilla
MATCH DETAILS:
• Date: Sunday, April 3rd
