Key Players to Watch:
Forward Madison
Nazeem Bartman: The South African striker has been one of the best offensive players for Forward Madison all season. Bartman has the fourth most shots on the squad and is tied for second on the team in goals (3). Expect the striker to see a large workload and to be relied upon by coach Matt Glaeser to provide a spark offensively.
Matheus Cassini: What isn’t there to say about Cassini. The Brazilian midfielder dominated against Tormenta, scoring a goal and logging an assist to help FMFC grab the win. Expect Cassini to have a big role helping to create quality chances for the ‘Mingos attack.
Raiko Arozarena: Arozarena is coming off an impressive performance against South Georgia Tormenta FC. The Cuban goalkeeper logged five saves and a clean sheet in his first match for the Flamingos. Expect Arozarena to face a lot more pressure against this fourth place Union Omaha team.
