Hartford Athletic desperately need points on Sunday, Oct 25 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 out of form (1W 2L recently). Rhode Island, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Hartford Athletic head into this on the back of a defeat, while Rhode Island arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

In 8 previous meetings, Hartford Athletic lead 1–3 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Hartford Athletic won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Hartford Athletic a slight edge, but Rhode Island are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
