New York Red Bulls II will host the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in the first round of the 2015 USL playoffs.
It will be the inaugural playoff game for the MLS reserve side's inaugural season.
Pittsburgh will travel to Red Bull Arena on September 26 for a 5pm game. The winner of the matchup plays the Rochester Rhinos in the conference semifinals.
In 2015 NYRB II defeated the Riverhounds 3-2 at home early in the season, before falling on the road 3-0 later on.
Going into the playoffs NYRB II has lost the last two on the road, while Pittsburgh is unbeaten in their last five (2-0-3).
