Birmingham Legion desperately need points on Sunday, Sep 20 at 1:30 AM in the USL Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Tampa Bay Rowdies come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Birmingham Legion travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Tampa Bay Rowdies lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Birmingham Legion won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Tampa Bay Rowdies clear favorites, but Birmingham Legion have shown they can grind out results. Expect Tampa Bay Rowdies to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
