Rhode Island FC team news

Khano Smith's men have the advantage of playing their fourth-ever home game at their new Pawtucket home, besides coming into the match without having played a midweek game. Pittsburgh will see the return of former Hounds Golden Boot winner Albert Dikwa, who recently rejoined their regular rotation this month. However, other former Hounds Marc Ybarra and Dani Rovira have been unavailable for a significant portion of the season.

Dikwa could be joined by Jojea Kwizera and Noah Fuson in the line of attack supported by Maxi Rodriguez.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds team news

Following their US Open Cup game against at Philadelphia Union on Wednesday, the Hounds traveled directly to Rhode Island. To minimize travel fatigue, the team opted to fly.

Despite weary legs, key midfielders Danny Griffin and Jackson Walti have played every minute this season and may be aiming for another full 180-minute week. Coach Bob Lilley would assess his players' fitness after Friday's training.

Jorge Garcia, who scored against the Union, played 28 minutes on Wednesday, as did Aidan O’Toole. Bradley Sample and Jason Bouregy are even fresher, having not been used in the lineup. Robbie Mertz and Bertin Jacquesson were both substituted just after the hour mark, leaving Augi Williams as the only forward/attacking midfielder to play the entire 90 minutes against the Union.
