Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC News Release


PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC (12-3-9) kicks off a two-game road swing tomorrow night with a visit to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on Indy Eleven (11-7-7) at 7 p.m.

GAME NOTES

Running unbeaten streaks of five and six games, respectively, the Hounds and Indy have met already once this year playing to a nil-nil draw at Highmark Stadium on May 11.

Coming off two straight draws at home, Pittsburgh (45 pts) looks to regain ground in the Eastern Conference standing after falling to third place behind Louisville City FC (46 pts). While only four points separate sixth (40 pts) from fourth place (44 pts) and a home playoff date, the Hounds still shake out in good shape overall, holding, at minimum, a game in hand over everyone in the conference top-eight except Louisville.

This week's tests at Indianapolis and then Cincinnati on Saturday will present perhaps the toughest road trip to date for the Hounds. The two clubs have combined to go 6-0-4 in their past 10 matches with Indy having not suffered defeat since July 21 and Cincinnati since May 26.

One more storyline to keep an eye on will be the absence of midfielder Thomas Vancaeyezeele on Wednesday, as he is expected to serve a one-game suspension after racking up a fifth yellow card against the Tampa Bay Rowdies last week. Vancaeyezeele leads the Hounds in minutes this season and is the only player on the club to have appeared in all 24 matches to date.
