Hartford Athletic desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 20 at 4:30 AM in the USL Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Las Vegas Lights FC come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Hartford Athletic travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Las Vegas Lights FC face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Hartford Athletic have won 3 of 3 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Las Vegas Lights FC won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.7 per game in recent meetings.

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