Detroit City FC concludes a brief two-game homestand this Saturday against Western Conference opponent Memphis 901 FC. The match is scheduled for 4:00 PM EDT and will be available for streaming on ESPN+ and broadcast locally on Detroit50 (WKBD-TV). Michigan residents can stream the game for free at www.cbsnews.com/detroit.

Le Rouge enters the match following a 1-1 draw with Tampa Bay Rowdies last Saturday. Despite being reduced to ten men shortly before the hour mark, Detroit City secured an initial lead in the 71st minute through an Elvis Amoh header. However, they conceded an equalizing goal from a corner in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time, resulting in a draw.

Devon Amoo-Mensah was recognized for his performance against Tampa Bay by being named to the USL Championship Team of the Week for Week 18. He assisted Amoh's goal and recorded seven clearances and three blocked shots during the match.

Memphis 901 FC comes into this fixture placed sixth in the Western Conference. Last weekend, they suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Orange County SC. Despite controlling possession, Memphis struggled to create significant opportunities and only managed their first goal in the 89th minute after trailing by four goals.

This encounter marks the only meeting between these two clubs this year. Since joining the USL Championship, Detroit City has yet to secure a victory over Memphis 901 FC, with both matches last season ending in draws.

Following this match, Detroit City will head back on the road next week but will return to Keyworth Stadium in two weeks to face Sacramento Republic FC. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m., and tickets are available at www.detcityfc.com/tickets.
