The story so far in the USL Championship for Bethlehem Steel, who have the most conceded goals (18) in USL Championship, at their home stadium is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Bethlehem Steel with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Loudoun United game, 150 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Bethlehem, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Bethlehem Steel are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-4 away versus Pittsburgh Riverhounds. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Hartford Athletic (2-3).

As you see from the result above, Bethlehem suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Bethlehem Steel, as the USL Championship home game vs Hartford Athletic is only four days away.

Bethlehem has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 4 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Bethlehem have allowed the opposition to score 11 goals here.

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the USL Championship, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 6 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats from 17 matches.

York had fun at their own home last time out, beating Pittsburgh Riverhounds 2-1. O. Sowe and D. Corfe scored. Before that one, a nice away victory 5-1 at Bethlehem Steel.

D. Corfe came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Pittsburgh Riverhounds last time out, making the manager J. Wolyniec feel like a tactical genius.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The USL Championship trip to Pittsburgh Riverhounds.
