It's ground zero in USL League One - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how North Texas and Richmond Kickers did in their pre-season friendlies!

It's no vacation for neither North nor Richmond Kickers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Richmond Kickers have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
