The Swope Park Rangers (16-8-7, 4th place) will take on Seattle Sounders FC 2 (9-17-4, 12th place) in the team’s regular season finale at 7:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday at Swope Soccer Village with home field advantage in the opening round of the playoffs at stake.
A win on Wednesday would likely secure a top-four finish in the Western Conference for the second straight season and the right to host the Conference Quarterfinals when the 2017 USL Cup Playoffs begin Oct. 20-22. The Swope Park Rangers and Phoenix Rising FC are currently level on points in fourth place with identical records through 31 games, however SPR currently holds the goal differential tiebreaker that could prove decisive as each team hosts S2 to close out the regular season campaign.
