Loudoun United vs Richmond Kickers: USL League One Cup Rivalry

Loudoun United and Richmond Kickers renew their regional rivalry at Segra Field in a USL League One Cup Group 6 clash that already feels pivotal for both sides’ qualification hopes.

Richmond are worse off in 6th, also on 0 points but with a -5 goal difference from two straight losses (form: L-L), scoring just once and conceding six. Both teams are still searching for their first clean sheet and first Cup win of the 2026 campaign.

Head-to-Head

Including friendlies, Loudoun have won the last two meetings at Segra Field, 4-2 in 2025 and 3-1 in a 2026 friendly.

Statistics

Statistically, Loudoun’s attack (1.0 goals per game) has been slightly more productive than Richmond’s (0.5), while Richmond’s defense has been far more porous (3.0 goals against per game versus Loudoun’s 2.0). With home advantage and marginally better underlying numbers, Loudoun United look the more likely to take all three points.
