Saturday s match will be the third road game for Pittsburgh in two weeks, with the club defeating Charleston (2-1) and drawing with Charlotte (1-1) in the first two. Richmond has started the season considerably slow, dropping three of its first four, including two straight at home, and scoring only one goal so far. Despite the low scoring output, the Kickers defense has been stingy, allowing only three goals. Much like trips to Charleston and Charlotte, the Hounds will look to exorcise road demons against the Kickers this weekend. The Hounds were swept in the head-to-head series last season, including a 2-0 defeat on the road that featured two own goals, and haven t defeated Richmond away since May 23, a 2-1 victory. The Hounds have been stout defensively since allowing three goals in the season opener, ceding one goal in three of their last four played - all starts by goalkeeper Trey Mitchell. Additionally, the club has been outshot only once this season - down a man against FC Cincinnati on April 1. Continuing to excel since recording his first career pro start against Saint Louis on April 12, forward Kay Banjo currently holds a point streak of three games and has goals in twostraight. The UMBC product s offensive contribution has been huge as his partner up top, Corey Hertzog, has been held scoreless the past two matches after scoring three times in the first three matches to start Center back next to Jamal Jack has been a revolving door for the club with five players logging time at the position so far this season. Recent loanee addition Joe Greenspan has provided much-needed stability, starting the past two matches to the tune of one assist and 16 clearances - second only to Jack (23). Long-time Hounds Mike Green and Kevin Kerr will soon again be moving up the club s all-time lists. For Green (120), he is currently three caps away from cracking the top-three for most appearances in club history. Kerr meanwhile is one appearance away from securing seventh (105) in club history to himself and three goals away (20) from moving into the top-five for most goals scored. With a win or draw this weekend, the Hounds will capture points in three-straight road matches for the first time since the 2015 season. Since the USL began play in 2011, Pittsburgh has never started the season unbeaten on the road in threestraight.
