The Lowdown: FC Tulsa will try to make it two wins out of two on home turf this season as it plays host to Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC, with the visitors coming in with five points from their opening three games of the season. Tulsa claimed its first win of the campaign on Saturday night with a 3-0 result against Loudoun United FC that saw Blaine Ferri and Milo Yosef score either side of halftime before Marcus Epps capped the result with a fine late finish. Tulsa has scored six goals in its opening three games of the season, tied for the most of any team in the Championship, but it may get tested by a Hounds defense that has proven solid so far this season. Pittsburgh picked up a point in its home opener on Friday night as Burke Fahling’s late equalizer earned a 1-1 draw with Miami FC at Highmark Stadium. Albert Dikwa continues to lead the Hounds attack, meanwhile, and he will have positive memories of facing Tulsa after bagging three goals across two victories for his side when the sides matched up last season.

Spotlight Players
FC Tulsa – Milo Yosef:
The German forward has bagged two goals in three games to start his professional career and has proven useful in helping form Tulsa’s high pressure defensively as well.

Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC – Arturo Ordonez: The Spanish center back has made a solid start to the new season and will be key in trying to keep Tulsa’s attack under wraps this time out.
