Following a midweek loss to the South Florida Surf, The Villages SC will be looking to bounce back against FC Miami City in the PDL Game of the Week on Saturday.

Here are several Week 6 games that stand out among the rest:

The Villages SC vs. FC Miami City (The Villages, Florida): Miami City and The Villages enter Saturday’s contest sitting fourth and fifth in the Southeast standings, respectively, but the home team this weekend has played two fewer games than all of the teams above it. The Villages SC has been led by goalkeeper Paulo Pita in defense, while Paulo Vaz has been active in the attack. For Miami City, Mohamed Kourouma has a team-high four goals.

Sounders FC U23 vs. Lane United FC (Springfield, Oregon): Lane United will host Sounders U23 in one of the must-see games of the weekend on Sunday. Ismael Fernandez and Joel Rydstrand, who is ranked 13th in the latest edition of the 2016 Top Prospects, will be looking to cause problems for the Sounders U23. Led by Head Coach Darren Sawatzky, the Sounders 23 defeated Lane United, 2-1, at home on June 3. However, Akeem Ward and Stefan Tomasevic have kept many Northwest teams off the score sheet this year, and will be looking to do the same against talented players, such as David Olsen and Guillermo Delgado.
