In a USL Championship match held on May 24, 2025, the Pittsburgh Riverhounds defeated Rhode Island FC 1-0 at Centreville Bank Stadium. Daniel Griffin scored the lone goal in the 37th minute, securing the victory for the Riverhounds. Despite Rhode Island FC dominating possession with 60.3%, they failed to convert their 14 shots into goals, with only 5 hitting the target. Pittsburgh, despite having less possession (39.7%) and fewer shots (10), were more clinical in front of goal. The Riverhounds' goalkeeper made 5 saves, denying Rhode Island FC's attempts to equalize. Both teams were physical, committing a combined 31 fouls and accumulating 7 yellow cards.
The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored Rhode Island FC with a 45.2% win probability, while Pittsburgh had only a 27.5% chance; thus, the AI prediction was incorrect. The model did not expect a balanced game, but the narrow scoreline suggests otherwise.
Rhode Island FC's recent form has been mixed, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five games (counting U.S. Open Cup). Their next match is against Miami FC, a team they have dominated in recent head-to-head encounters, including an 8-1 victory last season, and recent games of Miami suggest their defense may struggle. Pittsburgh Riverhounds, prior to this win, had struggled with one win, one draw, and three losses in their last five games (also counting U.S. Open Cup). Their next game is against Detroit City FC, a team they have had mixed results against in the past, and head-to-head games were balanced.
Comparing this game to previous ones, Rhode Island FC has struggled to score consistently at home recently, with two goalless draws in their last five home games. Pittsburgh, after losing three of their last five games where they failed to score more than one goal, needed a win to boost their confidence. Analyzing previous head-to-head games, Rhode Island FC had failed to score in the latest head-to-head game from 2024, which indicates that Pittsburgh's defense is difficult to break down for the team.
