Not only are Matthew Delicate, Ryan Heins, and the Richmond Kickers in town to face the Rhinos tonight, it's Scott Vallow Bobblehead Night!
There are only 1000 of them, so get there early to grab yours.
On the field you have the Rhinos that got bounced out of the USOC on Tuesday and the Kickers who advanced past the Columbus Crew. But, both teams sit at 24 pts (Richmond has a game in hand) in the USL PRO standings with the Rhinos leading the National Division and the Kickers chasing Orlando City in the American Division.
Richmond went 1-1-1 in league play in June while the Rhinos were 4-0-1.
