PREVIEW
Phoenix Rising FC hosts Pittsburgh Riverhounds this Saturday, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. during Military Appreciation Night. The matchup features the defending USL Regular Season Champions, traveling to Phoenix to face the defending USL Champions in Arizona for the first time since August 16, 2014.
“We played them in Pittsburgh last season,” said Rising head coach Danny Stone. “We had a very tough test in a close game. We’re looking forward to hosting them here in Phoenix. We know we’re in for a difficult match. We expect the game to be combative. We expect it to be physically demanding. Pittsburgh always makes sure no one gets anything for free. Teams earn everything they get against Pittsburgh. We’ve seen this from them regardless of results. We will be making sure they don’t get anything for free either.”
