The Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC knows what has to be done this weekend in Portland. The Rose City or Portland will be the place at 4 p.m. Saturday, when the Switchbacks have to grab three points with a win for the possibility of clinching a playoff berth.
Coach Steve Trittschuh said during the Switchbacks FC show on Gazette.com, “We have had good preparations this week and are ready to get a good result in Portland.”
The Switchbacks, in their inaugural season in the United Soccer League, have played against the Portland Timbers 2 in Colorado Springs and won, 3-1. Trittschuh said when it comes to planning to play against the Timbers, “I honestly have no idea who Portland is going to bring against us in their house.”
Trittschuh believes whatever team Portland fields, the focus for his team will be the same: “The guys know they need three points in this game and we are going to get those three points in this game.”
You can watch the Switchbacks FC show on Gazette.com.
Plan to see the away game on Gazette.com, live at 4 p.m. Saturday.
