Rhode Island desperately need points on Sunday, Aug 2 at 2:00 AM in the USL Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Birmingham Legion come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Rhode Island travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Birmingham Legion face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Rhode Island have won 4 of 5 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Birmingham Legion won 0–1.

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