Louisville City FC desperately need points on Saturday, Sep 26 at 1:00 AM in the USL Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Hartford Athletic come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Louisville City FC travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
