Louisville City FC face Loudoun United on Sunday, Sep 20 at 1:00 AM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the USL Championship, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Louisville City FC come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Loudoun United, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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