These two clubs have already met once this season with Richmond prevailing by a score of 2-1 in April. Pittsburgh has not defeated/recorded at least a point head-tohead against the Kickers since May of In a cruel twist, the Hounds longest unbeaten streak of the season - four games (all draws) - transformed into their longest winless streak of 2017 at six games with a loss against Tampa Bay last weekend. With another loss/draw, the Hounds are in danger of enduring their worst win drought since the start of the 2016 season (0-4-3). Skewing the gravity of the winless streak (0-2-4) perhaps has been the fact the Hounds have battled through their hardest stretch of competition this past July, including matches against each of the current top four in the East and four of six matches coming on the road. For the season, Pittsburgh has captured points in six of 11 games against teams with winning records (3-5-3) and are on the road. August brings a much needed breather from the gaunlet of Eastern Conference competition with the Hounds next three matches all falling against teams outside of playoff contention (RIC, HAR, STL), holding a combined record of Of that group, only Harrisburg (10th) places above the Hounds (12th) in the table, though it must be noted a mere two points separate eighth from 13th. The Kickers head into Saturday scuffling. Along with averaging only 0.62 goals per game, Richmond has yet to capture a win on the road this season (0-6-4). Additionally, the club has not scored away from City Stadium in three straight and are since defeating the Hounds on April 22. Suffering a multiple-goal defeat for only the second time this season in league play last week, the Hounds will look to rebound in similar fashion to the previous two instances. The club is when suffering such a defeat this year and going even further are unbeaten in its last six matches dating back to July 30, 2016 (4-0-2). Goals from any source for the Hounds would certainly be welcomed with only four in their past six games, but look out for Corey Hertzog. Recently snapping a seven-game goalless streak, now s a better time than ever to remember Hertzog was a beast for the Black and Gold last August. The former Rowdy potted five goals in six appearances, including a three-game goal streak from 8/5-13 and a brace against Wilmington on Aug. 24. Pittsburgh is hoping for similar results during the dog days of this summer.
