After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Bethlehem Steel and New York RB II in this fresh USL Championship season. Read our match preview!
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a USL Championship match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Pittsburgh Riverhounds, was also a home game. The away team is better rested.
Bethlehem Steel form and stats
Bethlehem Steel have played three USL Championship home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Stress levels are on the rise for Bethlehem's attacking players as they have now played 282 minutes without scoring in a league game. F. Moumbagna was their last goal scorer.
The Bethlehem crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-6 to Pittsburgh Riverhounds here in a USL Championship match.
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.
Bethlehem Steel are traveling soon after this match as the USL Championship match at Hartford Athletic awaits in three days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Bethlehem means that they have only scored 0 goals in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Bethlehem are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
New York RB II form and stats
O. Sowe was the last player to score for the away team. York haven't scored a league goal in the last 270 minutes.
York failed to get anything from their last game, a USL Championship home match vs Hartford Athletic (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 0-1. A loss against Tampa Bay Rowdies was the result prior to that, in a home game.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Pittsburgh Riverhounds in just four days.
