PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — As Rhode Island FC fights for a playoff spot, they have an important matchup this weekend.

Rhode Island is currently in ninth place in the Eastern Conference, putting them just out of postseason contention.

But on Saturday night, they'll be hosting Indy Eleven, who's just ahead of them in the standings, with only two points separating the two clubs. A win for Rhode Island would greatly improve their chances of making the playoffs.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Centreville Bank Stadium and you can watch the game live on myRITV.
