KNOW YOUR CLUB – Miami FC
Miami FC returns to Pitbull Stadium on Saturday night to host Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC in USL Championship action.
Miami enters the match following its road trip to Charleston, where the side fell 5-0 to the Battery in a match that saw Miami reduced to 10 men in the 35th minute. Denilson Milanes, who was shown the red card in Charleston, will be unavailable for Saturday’s match.
After the league break, Miami returns home looking to reset and pick up an important result in front of its supporters as the final stretch of the regular season approaches.
Saturday will also mark Miami’s first home match since facing Las Vegas Lights FC on August 8.
KNOW YOUR OPPONENT – Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC
Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC arrives in Miami with a 10-9-4 record following a scoreless draw against Eastern Conference leaders Tampa Bay Rowdies on August 29.
The Riverhounds have been particularly strong defensively in recent weeks. Goalkeeper Nico Campuzano recorded his ninth clean sheet of the season against Tampa Bay, while Pittsburgh allowed just three goals across six matches during the month of August.
Pittsburgh will be without Head Coach Rob Vincent on the sideline Saturday as he serves a one-match suspension after being sent off during the draw against Tampa Bay. Assistant coach Adam Mitchell and goalkeepers coach Jon Busch are expected to handle responsibilities in the technical area.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Saturday will be the second meeting between Miami FC and Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC this season.
The two sides first met on May 30 at F.N.B. Stadium, where Pittsburgh earned a 2-0 victory behind second-half goals from Albert Dikwa and Charles Ahl.
Miami will now look for a different result on home soil as the Riverhounds make the trip south to Pitbull Stadium.
