WEEK AHEAD PREVIEW
Sat Nov 16 thru Fri Nov 22
FC Birmingham will be away to take on Soccer Saves Lives Sun Nov 17 at 4:00. SSL is a bottom of the table team, and this is a game that FCB should win. Staying in playoff position should be motivation, and FCB will look to build momentum coming off of the big win against Fountain City.
The Adjacency
Fountain City is on the road against Georgia Athletic Soccer Sun Nov 17 at 1:00. Athletic is in the lower half of the table, trying to scramble up to a playoff spot. Fountain City needs to bounce back after a tough loss to Birmingham last week. Athletic hasn't scored many goals, but form has improved recently.

Columbus Knight Eagles will be looking to bounce back, hosting Club the Strongest Sun Nov 17 at 1:00. The Eagles haven't lost a home game yet and Strongest have won only once so far this season. Should be three points for CKE.
