USL Odds, April 24
USL Prinx Cup Opening Weekend!
We take a short break from league play this weekend with the first group stage matchday of the USL Prinx Cup (Jagermeister Cup is gone but never forgotten). With a full slate of 20 matches ahead, we should be in for an exciting day of fixtures with a regional flair and a few cross-league matches of USLC versus USL1 opposition. With this being a separate competition to the league, teams might very well play rotated squads, or we could see more USL1 over USLC upsets, but all of this should make for entertaining options of bets ahead. Let’s dive in to the preview!
Crucial note, group stage USL Prinx Cup matches that are tied at 90’ are then decided by a penalty shootout. The bets picked below are for the 90’ result of the match. In all likelihood, many sportsbooks are going to offer rather limited odds options on the matches of this competition. Additionally, the tiebreaker in group stage is most goals scored, so teams are encouraged to play more attacking—hopefully—in these matches.
As always, make all wagers at your own discretion, any bet you make should be made at your own risk. Only view these options below as potential choices to bet.
All odds were from Bet365 (unless otherwise listed from another sportsbook) as of Friday, April 24th.

USL Prinx Cup
NY Cosmos v Brooklyn
3.00 - 3.30 - 2.20
Group 5 of the USL Prinx Cup might be my favorite set of teams, geographically speaking, for this year’s tournament—and this matchup is a reason why. I have long-since believed every borough of New York City and the surrounding states could support a professional soccer team, and this match is bringing that belief into reality. USLC expansion side Brooklyn FC, travel across the Hudson River to New Jersey to play the New York Cosmos. Brooklyn have looked more improved in recent weeks, picking up a 1-1 draw against a solid Sacramento team this midweek, while the Cosmos are unbeaten in their last three games played and still have not been shutout this season.
It may be worth an article in future weeks, but one thing that is starting to develop for me, is that Brooklyn might be a team worth backing at home for their uniquely small pitch, but on the road, is a team to fade. In two road matches already played for Brooklyn, they’ve lost both by a score of 3-0 each time. With the Cosmos unbeaten in their last three games and scoring in each match, coupled with Brooklyn looking more like the team we expected to look this year when they go on the road, I have to take the hosts to get a result in this one.
Bet 1: Cosmos ML (3.30)
Bet 2: Cosmos to score first (2.10)
Loudoun v Charleston
3.10 - 3.25 - 2.15
Well, this is shaping up to be quite the soul searching match for these two clubs. Charleston are licking their wounds from a 4-0 loss to Rhode Island midweek, yet another baffling shutout defeat allowing over multiple goals by the Battery (uncharacteristic of Ben Pirmann teams). Meanwhile for Loudoun, they have started the new era at manager, rather poorly or unlucky, no wins in six played in the league, but they have drawn their last three games played (including one game against Louisville that finished 3-3). To me, this is a Loudoun team who are more so figuring things out under Limbrick that just has not culminated in a win, rather than a bad football club. But how do either of these teams approach this match, each needing a win?
Charleston has yet to be shutout in a visit to Segra Field in seven previous trips dating back to 2019. Furthermore, Loudoun has just one victory over Charleston all-time in 14 total meetings (which also came back in 2019). If there was ever a time to get another win Loudoun, it would be now. But I still have question marks over this Battery team to fully back them to get all three points (but I do expect them to get the result at 90’).
Bet: Charleston win or tie, over 2.5 total goals (2.10)
Richmond v Charlotte
2.20 - 3.30 - 3.00
Well done Richmond, that 2-1 win over Omaha last week was a much-needed result to earn your first USL1 league victory of the year. It even landed Darren Sawatzky coach of the week honors as well. It might very well be a blessing that Richmond’s first Prinx Cup group stage match is against a fellow USL1 opposition in Charlotte Independence (fresh off a 2-1 loss to Knoxville in the league last time out) as a way to test how strong this Kickers team can truly be. For Charlotte, they are looking to avoid three consecutive defeats against USL1 opponents for the first time since November 2025. All of this taken into account, Charlotte does hold the all-time series lead over Richmond in 26 games, having won 13 and draw 8. Richmond has not beaten the Independence in any of their four meetings (dating back to September 2024), and has not won at home against Charlotte since June 2022.
I can really see this match going either way given that history working against Richmond, but Charlotte being equally out of form.
Bet: Richmond to score first (1.80)
Chattanooga v Corpus Christi
2.00 - 3.25 - 3.40
September 2024 was the last time that Eamond Zayed faced off against Chattanooga as his Northern Colorado Hailstorm played out a 0-0 draw. Zayed’s Corpus Christi team lost 2-1 to Sarasota on Wednesday this week, extending their winless run to open their club’s existence. This match against Chattanooga will be their final of this long opening road trip, before they can make their home opener in May. Chattanooga meanwhile have not played a match since April 11th, a 1-0 loss to Fort Wayne. For last season’s USL1 regular season runner-ups, the start to this year has been slow. After a matchday one win over Greenville, an incongruent schedule has seen the team fall out of form with no wins since.
This might be a rather close affair as both teams continue to figure things out as the season begins for both. Over 2.5 goals has hit in each of the last three Corpus Christi matches and in two of the three Chattanooga league games this year.
Bet: Over 2.5 total goals (1.85)
Hartford v Rhode Island
2.35 - 3.25 - 2.80
Another clash of these neighbors in New England, as Hartford plays Rhode Island for the second meeting this season (strangely they’ll have met twice in the Cups before facing each other in the league this year). Last time these two teams met, in the USOC, Rhode Island prevailed 2-0, in a match that kicked off Hartford’s current goalless run of four consecutive games without scoring across all competitions—six hours since Hartford last scored a goal, or nearly enough time to watch all three movies of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. Rhode Island are also off the back of a 4-0 win over Charleston in the league midweek, their largest margin of victory in a match since winning 5-0 in October 2025 against Tampa Bay.
While Hartford are on a major goal-scoring drought and have not won a match in over a month, one thing they may have going for them is in the history of this series, the visiting team has not won a match inside 90’ before (Hartford won a PK shootout in the group stage of the Jagermeister Cup last season as a visiting team). But with Rhode Island off the back of that match midweek, and Hartford having gone cold, I just don’t think I can trust Hartford in this match.
Bet: Rhode Island win or tie, Rhode Island to score first (2.37)
Indy Eleven v Omaha
1.53 - 4.10 - 5.00
So soon after these USLC and USL1 clubs met in the USOC—21 days—we get a repeat matchup of Indy Eleven and Union Omaha. Last time out in the Cup, it was Omaha winning 2-1, outshooting Indy Eleven 18-11 and dominating 70% possession in that match. Since that match however, Indy Eleven has yet to lose picking up two draws and a win in the three games played (each game being BTTS, and two being over 2.5 goals). Omaha last time out lost 2-1 away in the league at Richmond—albeit at a ground we’ve mentioned last week that the Nebraska club struggled at previously. While the result of this match might very well be different to the fixture from the USOC in March, one thing I am certain on is this being another high-scoring game that goes over 2.5 goals. Indy Eleven won their group stage last season in the USL Cup, scoring 8 goals across four matches and scored in each of those four games. I think we see another goals fest in the making for this weekend.
All of that being said, 5.00 odds for a team who inside 90’ last time these two teams met (Omaha) is more than worth a sprinkle (2.25 double chance).
Bet: Omaha win or draw, Over 2.5 goals (4.00)
Lexington v Madison
1.65 - 3.75 - 4.33
This match represents a rare meeting between once USL1 opponents, who now find themselves in different USL leagues, but is the talent level that dramatically different between these two teams? Lexington, for all the hype they had entering the season, has not won any of their last five games played across all competition and has only beaten one other USL club this year, an expansion team in Brooklyn. Madison for me has been a more pleasant surprise start to their season. Defeat to Omaha away and USOC exit to Flint City aside, the team are looking much improved from their poor 2025 campaign. When these two sides met in USL1, it was Madison who prevailed more often, as across their seven total meetings, Lexington only won on a single occasion. One thing Lexington does have going for them in this match is that Madison was unable to win away at this ground in three previous meetings, not even scoring a goal in those matches as well. For a Lexington team that needs a confidence boosting result to end this poor run of form, and a chance to flex their strength, the Kentucky club should be looking for a win in this match.
Bet: Lexington ML (1.65)
Louisville v Fort Wayne
1.38 - 5.00 - 6.25
While it took until the 90’ (and having outshot their opponents 23-2), Louisville did eventually get all three points in a win over Jacksonville (who held on as valiantly as they could) last time out. For their opponents Fort Wayne, this will be the Indiana club’s last road match to open their maiden season, before their home opener on May 2nd. The club scored their first ever win last time out on April 11th, a 1-0 victory vs Chattanooga. Aside from a high-scoring 2-2 draw with Sarasota, three of the four Fort Wayne matches played have all been under 2.5 goals and BTTS - No scorelines. After a grueling road trip, I do not foresee Louisville letting slip this result. What Louisville needs after last season’s Players’ Shield but unsuccessful playoff result, is silverware. For the class of USL, to have not won a Cup since 2018’s league title is an unheard of drought for this dominant organization. I think Louisville starts their Prinx Cup campaign with a win over Fort Wayne, but a Round of 16 Open Cup match away at Houston looms on Wednesday and will undoubtedly have more of Louisville’s focus. Talent should prevail in this one.
Bet: Louisville -1.5 (1.95)
Pittsburgh v Greenville
1.40 -4.20 - 6.25
Maybe it is not so far-fetched that these two longtime USL stalwarts have not run into each other, but tomorrow’s fixture at Highmark Stadium represents the first competitive game between the reigning USLC champions, Pittsburgh Riverhounds, and the Greenville Triumph. Incredibly, Greenville has not played a match since April 4th, a full three weeks ago! In that same span of time, Pittsburgh has played three matches including a USOC exit to NY Red Bulls last week alongside a 2-1 win over Detroit. One has to wonder how rusty Greenville might look in this match having gone so long since their last competitive game played, especially as they prepare to visit one of the toughest grounds as a visiting team. While just two of their seven games to open the season have been under 2.5 total goals for Pittsburgh, I just cannot see Greenville scoring multiple goals in this match (Triumph’s last game was a 1-0 loss away at Naples). Pittsburgh get the result in this one and keep it low-scoring.
Bet: Pittsburgh win or tie, Under 2.5 total goals (2.80)
Westchester v Portland
3.00 - 3.30 - 2.20
As I mentioned above for the NY Cosmos v Brooklyn matchup, Group 5 is my favorite set of teams to open the group stage in the Prinx Cup this season, there is nothing like soccer in the northeast! For these two USL1 neighbors, their two meetings last year gave us a combined nine total goals with Portland winning one and drawing the other game. If history is anything to go off of, we may be in for another fun one tomorrow. That being said, this is a very different Westchester team to the dismal pilot season they had last year that produced those high-scoring 2025 matches—and Portland have opened the season still waiting on their second win of the campaign (having not won since March 14th). While Westchester are clearly eager to forget their 4-0 defeat against Boise last week (and a 5-2 loss against NYCFC in the USOC last week as well), one could easily discount those results to travel for the former, and pure talent difference of MLS to the latter.
That being said, Westchester are on a trend of having high-scoring games against USL1 clubs this year as four of their first six games played in the league were over 2.5 goals (as well as four games being BTTS - Yes). If you can find BTTS - Yes odds, take that wager, but I am having this one to go over 2.5 goals, with this game having a winner in 90’.
Bet: Westchester or Portland to win, over 2.5 total goals (1.90)
Jacksonville v Miami
3.50 - 3.30 - 2.05
For this new Floridian derby, their first meeting back in March was pure chaos. Six goals on nearly 30 total shots, both sides having led the match for at least 30’ apiece, we could be in for a treat tomorrow. What was a confident start for Miami FC to open the year, saw the club lose their first game since March 14th last week in a 3-0 battering by Phoenix. Don’t look now, but Miami have not scored a goal in their last three games, a little over five hours ago—or enough time to watch every animated How To Train Your Dragon movie. Jacksonville meanwhile as mentioned above, nearly escaped Louisville with a proudly fought for draw, only to concede at 90’ to lose their fifth match in a row…and Jacksonville also has not scored a goal in their last three games.
We may be in for pure hilarity between these two teams this weekend that it makes it must watch television. Given these odds, I’m backing Miami to get the win, but each team should contribute to scoring to end their current goalless droughts.
Bet: Miami ML, Over 2.5 total goals (3.00)
Tampa Bay v Sarasota
1.40 - 4.33 - 6.25
The Tampa Bay Rowdies, in Dom Casciato’s first full season in charge, came roaring out of the gates winning their first four games played. These last two matches have seen the club hype have their brakes pumped a little, after back to back draws against Oakland (a match they arguably should’ve won) and a tense 1-1 draw with Charleston last weekend. But the Rowdies are still unbeaten to open the season, and facing a new USL1 expansion team in Sarasota Paradise—who are off the back of a 2-1 win midweek versus Corpus Christi—is an opportunity to rebound in their only Cup competition outside of the league.
Keeping it simple, taking the Rowdies to win this one and finding the opening goal.
Bet: Tampa Bay ML, Tampa Bay to score first (1.57)
Tulsa v Knoxville
1.75 - 3.50 - 3.90
We saw this fixture in last season’s USL Jagermeister Cup and it was Knoxville prevailing on penalties, 2-2 after 90’ over the soon USL Championship runner-ups, Tulsa. It was a match that turned out to showcase the best teams that USLC and USL1 had to offer. This season is a different story. Knoxville very much look like their usual selves, while Tulsa’s 2026 campaign has a step back from last season (just one win in the league in spite of a small USOC run that ended last week). While Tulsa was able to pester the goal of Oakland last week with 20 shots, they settled for a draw with the Roots. Knoxville meanwhile advanced in the USOC on penalties over DC United and then followed up that massive advancement with a win over Charlotte Independence. The Tennessee club has not lost a match across all competitions since March 14th.
With Tulsa in disarray to open the season, and Knoxville carrying the momentum from last season’s USL1 title (and more recently, that USOC advancement over an MLS team), I’m actually backing the USL1 side in this one to get a result. Knoxville were moments away from winning this fixture last season, don’t be surprised if they win it this year.
Bet 1: Knoxville win or draw (1.90)
Bet 2: Knoxville to score first (2.40)
San Antonio v Birmingham
2.10 - 3.25 - 3.00
These past few weeks for Birmingham, to me at least, has been the club slowly starting to come together, and their last three games have been a good showcase of where this team might be headed. Last Sunday, Birmingham was able to save a point against Indy Eleven in a match they had previously let nearly slip away (something 2025 Birmingham would have almost certainly had lost). The Legion are unbeaten in three consecutive games against USL clubs for the first time since October of last year. For San Antonio, what a way to end their goalless drought last week with a surprising 3-2 win over El Paso (coincidentally their highest scoring match as a team since their 5-2 win over El Paso from October 2025). It’s the sort of game where it can get San Antonio back on track, and taking on a Birmingham team they have only lost once to all-time represents a good chance for an encore performance. While San Antonio have been shutout against Birmingham in their last two meetings, home field advantage plays a crucial role in this series as the visiting team has not won a match between these two teams since 2022, and four of these previous matches have gone over 2.5 goals as well. Look for the hosts to get back on track in form with a result in this game.
Bet: San Antonio win or draw, San Antonio to score first (1.95)
New Mexico v AV Alta
1.50 - 4.00 - 5.25
A bad loss followed by an extended period of time until your next match is never a pleasant feeling. For New Mexico, to lose 3-0 against neighboring Phoenix Rising nearly two weeks ago, it’s tough to stomach. For NMU, this season beginning has not gone to plan at times for a team who was in a conference final last season—heavy defeats to both El Paso and Phoenix—and yet they’ve also scored a 1-0 victory over Orange County and a high-scoring result over Colorado Springs, 3-2. Looking across the pitch at their opponents, AV Alta are one of two winless sides remaining in USL1, but it’s not for a lack of trying, AV Alta’s last four games have all been BTTS - Yes (each going over 2.5 goals as well). For a side looking for their first win since October 2025, this season start has been nothing short of frustrating.
But perhaps for both of these teams, the Prinx Cup offers a sort of reprieve, a chance to experiment tactics and try out new ideas. AV Alta were able to get a win in regulation (and another in penalties) over USLC opposition in last year’s edition of this competition. All that being said, New Mexico has let the bad taste of their 3-0 loss to Phoenix sit for far too long, I expect the hosts to come out ready to play and will walk away with all three points in this one.
Bet: New Mexico ML, Over 2.5 total goals (2.20)
Monterey Bay v Oakland
3.40 - 3.25 - 2.05
I feel for Monterey Bay, I really do. The team has not yet made the playoffs in USLC in club history and just seem like each year are struggling on the pitch—and this year is no different. Rock bottom of the USLC Western Conference, no wins in seven games played and the lowest scoring team in the league, it’s not gone well for MBFC to open the year. I’ve spoken previously in the past how much I believe in the Ryan Martin project in Oakland, and they had another match to prove my trust in this team was valid as they beat Las Vegas 4-2 during the midweek, Oakland’s highest scoring match as a club since May 2023 (4-1 win over Birmingham).
I wish I could say differently about Monterey Bay, for the sake of their own fans, but I just can’t see them taking three points from this match. Oakland Roots overrun Monterey Bay for the win.
Bet: Oakland ML (2.05)
Orange County v El Paso
2.37 - 3.25 - 2.70
I almost wish the first meeting of Orange County and El Paso this year, currently first and third in the Western Conference respectively, came in the league (but alas we are left waiting until August for that league match). Until then, these footballing opposites will meet in the Prinx Cup. You have the USLC’s highest scorers in El Paso, taking on the league’s stingiest defense in Orange County. El Paso’s seven games against USLC opposition this year have all gone over 2.5 goals while Orange County has seen only two of their eight games against USLC opponents be BTTS - Yes (and none of their last six games hit that mark). Furthermore, Orange County has not conceded a goal in any of their last three games played, their longest streak of that kind against USL opponents since July 2025. From a tactically perspective, this might be the most fascinating match playing out tomorrow—an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.
Bet: Draw (3.25)
Phoenix v Colorado Springs
2.15 - 3.25 - 3.00
Honestly, I think we are starting to see Phoenix Rising quietly sneak up the Western Conference table. It was a 3-0 win over Miami last time out for Phoenix, their second consecutive win in the league (also second consecutive 3-0 scoreline win). Phoenix has won two consecutive games by 3 goals or more for the first time since May 2021. For Colorado Springs, what a week last week was! The Switchbacks absolutely battered a bad Sporting Kansas City team in the USOC, and then followed up that performance with another three goal victory margin, in a win over Monterey Bay in the league. Both of these are riding high waves of momentum entering this match that the winner could really see their season start to accelerate from here.
For Colorado Springs, they have a match with MLS’ Colorado Rapids next Wednesday while Phoenix will have a week off after this game. That could very well play a role in determining what lineups might be played for both teams on Saturday. I think for the Switchbacks, they may be more likely to rotate given their date with an MLS club on Wednesday. Given that possibility of squad rotation, I am going to lean on Phoenix to grab the result from this one.
Bet: Phoenix win or tie (1.30)
Sacramento v Spokane
1.72 - 3.50 - 4.20
As I mentioned above, any team visiting Brooklyn this season will be subjected to the smallest pitch in the league, a distinct advantage for Brooklyn, but will cause any visiting team to change how they play for that match. That was the case for Sacramento this midweek as they barely rescued a point away at Brooklyn in the league, 1-1. Back at home, they play host to Spokane Velocity, who are off the back of back-to-back wins in the league, but has not played since April 11th. Spokane’s entire April has been spent west of Colorado in terms of travel, while Sacramento are making the cross country trek back from New York City this week. When these sides met last year in a Jagermeister Cup group stage match, it was Sacramento winning 1-0. Back at home I think is crucial for Republic for this match, as Sacramento has only lost at home once all season (to El Paso), but have otherwise kept games low-scoring here, and I believe that will be the case tomorrow night. Republic prevail with the result, in a low-scoring match, but the angle is on the under.
Bet: Under 2.5 total goals (2.00)
Las Vegas v Boise
No odds as of writing
Upset alert! Boise seem to be hitting their stride in USL1 this early in their club’s tenure, off the back of their first ever home win in club history last week, a 4-0 dominating result over Westchester. Having made waves all offseason with their signings, Boise will be a trendy pick for an upset in this match. Las Vegas meanwhile enter this match second bottom of the USLC Western Conference, with just one win on the board, and having lost 4-2 against Oakland midweek. The Nevada club has not won since March 28th (against Monterey Bay of all teams…), but Las Vegas has yet to be shutout in a game this season much to their credit. Furthermore, Las Vegas has not been shutout at home since July 4th of last year, Cashman Field is one for the entertainment value alone. But I just have a feeling on this Boise team to go into Cashman Field, and walk away with a win in normal time. Definitely over 2.5 goals, but this one going the way of the USL1 team would not surprise me,.
Bet 1: Boise ML
Bet 2: Over 2.5 total goals

Final Thoughts
Some Around the USL Content shout outs from this week: Alex Ashton’s article on the newcomers to USL1 making headlines, John Morrissey with a status update on the current USL Championship CBA negotiations, and Nicholas Murray’s preview of the USL Prinx Cup weekend ahead as well!
Daredevil: Born Again season two is already nearing its conclusion with just two episodes to go, but this week’s episode was quite the development in what has been a fascinating season to watch.
Having finally made it to YouTube, Jon Bois from Secret Base released the first episode in his series on the “The History to Charging the Mound in MLB”. It was a very funny episode that I look forward to seeing more of the series throughout the summer.
