This could be an interesting match as Hartford Athletic have their presumed home advantage while Pittsburgh Riverhounds are ahead 0 points in the USL Championship table.
Hartford Athletic and Pittsburgh Riverhounds should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Pittsburgh Riverhounds have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 5-2-3 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
