Insights:
  • Pittsburgh Riverhounds have the fewest conceded goals (11) in USL Championship
  • Louisville City have the most clean sheets (7) in USL Championship

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Louisville City have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-1-3 (win-draw-loss) from six matches.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
