Insights:
  • Pittsburgh Riverhounds have the fewest conceded goals (11) in USL Championship

4-2-1 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Tampa Bay Rowdies when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those seven matches are 16-8 (scored/conceded).

These teams have little in common geographically as Tampa Bay Rowdies have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
