Key Players to Watch:
Forward Madison
Derek Gebhard: Since returning from injury, Gebhard has been on a tear. The striker has improved his passing accuracy significantly and is currently completing 84.4% of his passes. Gebhard also sits fourth on the team in tackles with nine. Expect the 26-year-old to help lead the FMFC attack while still contributing on defense.
Andrew Wheeler-Omiunu: Another FMFC player playing impressively since returning from injury has been Wheeler-Omiunu.

The 27-year-old will need to continue to pass the ball accurately to give the Mingo’s a boost against Tucson.
Matheus Cassini: Cassini has provided Forward Madison with plenty of opportunities…
