The Jacksonville Armada FC resumes NASL action on the road Friday against the San Francisco Deltas in Week Nine of the Spring Season. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 EST at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco.

The competition will be stiff as the Deltas are in second-place in the standings. The Armada FC slipped to fifth place after the first defeat of the year on Saturday against North Carolina FC.

Jacksonville will be tested as it is playing its third game in six days, but so will the Deltas.

Both teams are coming off U.S. Open Cups wins from Wednesday’s Second Round matches. The Armada FC knocked out the Miami United FC with a 2-1 victory in Hialeah, Fla. The Deltas also took a 2-1 win against the Burlingame Dragons FC (PDL) in Stanford, Calif.

The U.S. Open Cup marked the third-straight win for San Francisco. The Deltas received the full six points on their two-game NASL road stint in the east against North Carolina FC and FC Edmonton.

Friday’s match against the Deltas will be the Armada FC’s first trip to San Francisco in franchise history. An Armada FC win would allow the team to overtake the Deltas, who are just two points ahead, in the NASL Spring Season standings.
