Loudoun United desperately need points on Sunday, Aug 9 at 1:00 AM in the USL Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Loudoun United come into this fixture drawing too many games (4D in last 5). Charleston Battery, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, Loudoun United face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Charleston Battery have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Loudoun United won 1–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Loudoun United a slight edge, but Charleston Battery are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
