The Swope Park Rangers return to action today to face Sacramento Republic FC at 7 PM CT at Swope Soccer Village. It will be a bit of a clash of champions. Sacramento was the regular season champions for the USL Western Conference but Swope Park won the Western Conference in the playoffs.
For the Rangers, they have had some rest with two and a half weeks off since their victory over Portland. That time off has allowed the Rangers to get fully healthy. Robert Mirosavic and Kevin Oliveira have both been cleared to play.
Mirosavic, a talented Swedish forward was injured in preseason and will be available for this match and could see time in his first match for the Rangers.
