With the regular season coming to a close shortly, Friday’s match is a potential division title and playoff decider as the two clubs battle for the lone playoff spot.
After being held to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night against the Tacoma Galaxy, Salmon Bay FC will look to get back to winning ways with two matches this weekend to close out the season.
Now, let’s preview the opposition.
FC Olympia

FC Olympia has a chance to claim the division title and lone playoff spot with a win tonight against the West Seattle Rhodies. However if they draw or lose, Salmon Bay FC will still have a chance to make finish above Olympia and make the playoffs.
