Additional match week information

- This will be the fourth meeting this season between the Hounds and Detroit. Detroit won 1-0 at home on April 26 in the USL Jägermeister Cup, but in the two regular-season meetings, the Hounds won 2-0 at home on June 7 and the teams drew 0-0 on July 18 in Detroit.
