But the Hounds are still seeking their first home win against Louisville in a series where the road teams have oddly held the edge.<\/p>\n<p>Albert Dikwa returns to the Hounds lineup after serving a one-match suspension for a red card, and with the returns of Guillaume Vacter last week and Sam Bassett off the bench Wednesday, the Hounds are healthier than at any point in recent months. Trevor Amann enters with a goal in each of the past two matches, and he and Bassett were the goal scorers in the previous meeting with Louisville.<\/p>\n<p>The visiting side comes in with plenty of attacking firepower, as their 25 goals on the season is tied for second in the Championship. Jansen Wilson leads Louisville with five goals, while Chris Donovan has four goals and four assists to lead the team in goal contributions. But Louisville also has conceded 22 goals on the year \u2014\u00a0uncharacteristic of the reigning Players\u2019 Shield holders \u2014 placing them in the lower half of the league in that regard.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the national broadcast, which will be aired locally on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pittsburgh\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KDKA<\/a>, the match can be streamed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountplus.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paramount+<\/a>, and the Hounds\u2019 partners at <a href=\"https:\/\/q929fm.com\/radio-las-palmas\/?doing_wp_cron=1784300101.5255489349365234375000\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Radio Las Palmas, 92.9 FM HD2<\/a> will have the Spanish-language radio call.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the match are still available through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketmaster.com\/pittsburgh-riverhounds-sc-vs-louisville-city-pittsburgh-pennsylvania-07-18-2026\/event\/1600644B94915EDA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ticketmaster<\/a> and at the F.N.B.
