Matchweek 2 Preview

by NFPL

Matchweek 2 brings us a classic matchup! Futsal Factory Academy host the conference leaders Grand Rapids OLé on Saturday night!

Futsal Factory Academy (H) VS. Grand Rapids OLé (A)

An early in-state rivalry game as two teams with plenty of history and experience match up in Matchweek 2 of the NFPL: Futsal Factory Academy will host Grand Rapids OLé.

Fresh off a Matchweek 1 victory over Detroit Imperial Futsal, Grand Rapids OLé will be looking to take all three points and extend their lead at the top of the table. Just a two hour drive separate the two futsal powerhouses and though it's early in the season, it feels like this will be a benchmark of how the division will shake out.

Grand Rapids won both meetings last season against Futsal Factory. However, despite returning some key players, they're missing several that had huge impacts last season. The new faces on the Futsal Factory Academy squad are a mystery at the moment, but the returners there should make for a competitive matchup. 

Will OLé continue their divisional dominance? Or can Futsal Factory make a dent and prove they're ready to compete at the top of the conference? We'll find out Saturday night.
