Coming off a rescheduled match with the Indy Eleven due to Hurricane Irma, the Jacksonville Armada FC looks to get yet another victory at MCU Park in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Sunday.

Jacksonville has never won three consecutive road matches, and a victory would assist the team in securing a postseason position.

Jacksonville came away with three points the last time they went on the road against the New York Cosmos on Sept. 3. The match was the most recent played by the Armada FC and the first-ever win in New York in franchise history. Luck fell in favor of the visitors midway through the first half when New York’s defender Juan Guerra attempted to clear Mechack Jérôme’s free kick, but instead put it into his own net. Recently acquired Ciarán Kilduff then netted his first-ever goal for Jacksonville, which earned the team the three points with a 2-0 win.

The Cosmos now have a six-game winless streak. The team was last on the pitch on Sept. 6 with the Miami FC. The thrilling match ended in a 3-3 draw at Riccardo Silva Stadium. The Cosmos were first with the lead when Bledi Bardic found his first goal in his first appearance for the senior team. Miami then capitalized off a free kick to equalize in the 44th minute. The home team then doubled the lead by going ahead 2-1 in the 63rd minute. Pablo Vranjicán gained one back for the Cosmos in the 81st minute, before Jaime Chávez answered with his third goal of the night for Miami. The Cosmos finally equalized once more in the second minute of stoppage time when Javi Márquez beat two defenders and sent one into the net inside the penalty area.
