The Hounds are gearing up for a climb into the top four of the Eastern Conference, and their journey begins with a Tuesday night showdown against Miami FC—the first encounter between the two sides this year.
Pittsburgh heads into the fixture riding a wave of momentum, unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions. That stretch includes an impressive 3-0-1 record at Highmark Stadium since June 21. Their latest outing, a 2-2 stalemate with Portland Hearts of Pine in the USL Jägermeister Cup, marked their final non-league fixture of the season. With cup commitments now behind them, the Hounds can zero in entirely on the USL Championship.
Miami FC, who finished at the bottom of the table last season, have turned things around under the guidance of Argentine boss Gastón Maddoni. With five wins already under their belt, two more than all of last year, Miami finds itself neck-and-neck with Birmingham in the race for the final playoff berth in the East. It’s a clear sign that the South Florida side is no longer an easy three points.

Team news & squads
Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC team news
Several key players who were rested during the trip to Portland are set to return to the Hounds' starting lineup, injecting fresh legs and firepower for Tuesday night. Leading goal-getter Robbie Mertz, striker Augi Williams, and reliable shot-stopper Eric Dick are all expected to slot back in after sitting out the cup tie. Also back in the fold is Bertin Jacquesson, who not only bagged both of Pittsburgh's goals last Friday but also torched Miami with a hat trick in their last meeting on October 5, 2024.
Miami FC team news
On the other side, Miami FC have found a breakout star in Francisco Bonfiglio. The 23-year-old Argentine, who honed his craft in Villarreal’s youth ranks, has taken the USL by storm with 10 goals this season, accounting for more than half of the team's offensive tally.
Just as impressive, Miami's backline has tightened up considerably. With MLS veteran Bill Hamid guarding the net, they've slashed their goals conceded average from a leaky 2.6 last season to a much more respectable 1.5 per match this year. The South Floridians look sharper and more balanced on both ends of the pitch, and no longer resemble last year's bottom dwellers.
