USL Championship side Pittsburgh Riverhounds host MLS side Columbus Crew at the Highmark Stadium on May 24 in a battle to progress to the quarterfinals of the US Open Cup.
Riverhounds are one of two non-MLS teams left in the tournament, attempting to reach the US Open Cup Quarterfinals for the second time in club history.
The Riverhounds advanced to this stage of the tournament in 2001 and have never beaten two MLS teams in a single tournament, a feat they might achieve against Columbus after defeating the New England Revolution in the previous round. In addition, the Riverhounds have won three tournaments in a row for the first time in club history in 2023.
The visiting Columbus Crew SC enter the last 16 of the US Open Cup with a record of 2-1-2 in their last five matches. Columbus was defeated 3-2 at TQL Stadium last weekend by in-state rival FC Cincinnati.
Crew currently hold eighth place in the Eastern Conference in MLS with 18 points in 13 games. They also boast a healthy goal difference with 25 goals scored and 17 conceded. However, their away form has been concerning as they have only managed a single win all season on the road.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
