On August 9th, 2025, Highmark Stadium will host a USL Championship match between the Pittsburgh Riverhounds and Orange County SC. AI predicts a Pittsburgh Riverhounds victory. Although Orange County has slightly higher rate (0.567 vs 0.53), the Riverhounds have a 37.0% win probability compared to Orange County's 35.4%. The draw probability is calculated at 27.6%.
