Birmingham Legion desperately need points on Wednesday, Jun 17 at 9:00 PM in the USL Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

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

In 4 previous meetings, Oakland Roots lead 3–1 with 0 draws. Their last encounter ended in Birmingham Legion won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.5 per game in recent meetings.

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