USL Odds, May 1
Back to league play as we enter the month of May!
After a fun weekend of Prinx USL Cup action, and USOC action midweek—it was a nice run for Louisville, Colorado Springs and Knoxville who all exited the USOC in the midweek—we are back focused on league play. We have expansion teams with their home openers (finally) in USL1, along with some very interesting USLC matches on offer this weekend. And above all else, an agreement between the USL and USLPA for the next USLC CBA is nearing final ratification! Formula 1 is back, the NBA and NHL playoffs continue, the Kentucky Derby on Saturday evening, let’s make it a good weekend of wagers!
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 as of Friday, May 1.

USL Championship
Loudoun v Oakland
2.15 - 3.40 - 2.80
It’s a Ryan Martin homecoming as he brings his Oakland Roots team to his old stomping ground of Segra Field to take on his former club, Loudoun United. We’ve spoken about it on the USL Show in the past, but Ryan Martin’s exit from Loudoun felt like a manager the club let slip away, and his early returns from his time at Oakland is reinforcing that fact (just one defeat in their first seven league games, the only match the club has been shutout in as well). Anthony Limbrick’s Loudoun tenure is still without a win against USLC/1 opposition across all competitions, but the side has drawn their last three league games played. But the longer the Virginia club goes without a win, you have to wonder if the decision to part ways with Martin was ultimately the right one.
The narrative behind Martin’s history cannot be ignored for this matchup (and history already tilts in Oakland’s favor as they have won three of the four all-time meetings including this very fixture away at Loudoun last year). Martin will have his team motivated to go out and get a result in this game, particularly since former Loudoun players such as Florian Valot, Tommy McCabe, Keegan Tingey all left the club last season and followed Martin to Oakland. I think Oakland get a result from this match at minimum, but expect both teams to score (BTTS - Yes, has hit in each of the last four Roots games across all competitions). Though at these ML odds for Oakland, that might be worth a wager.
Bet: Oakland win or draw, BTTS - Yes (2.30)
Detroit v Louisville
3.00 - 3.10 - 2.20
Louisville put up a good fight against Houston in the USOC on Wednesday, but fell short of advancing after extra time. Turning their attention back on the league in one of the more trickier away days for the Kentucky club, a trip to Keyworth Stadium. Detroit at home, as I’ve mentioned previously, is a different team entirely that can frustrate opponents at this ground. Louisville are one of the better vistors to this ground to their credit, as in five previous visits they have won twice—four of those five games were under 2.5 total goals and only once did a Louisville visit to this ground see BTTS - Yes. You might be able value in Detroit getting a result out of this one (1.57 double chance), but one bet I will for certain is under 2.5 goals—Detroit averaging 1.83 total goals per game this year. The last four times this game has had a winner, the team who scored first went on to win so the opening goal will be crucial. If Detroit can score first, I think they are able to bunker and hold onto the win.
Bet 1: Under 2.5 total goals (1.65)
Bet 2: Detroit or Louisville to win (1.28)
Parlay both: 2.75
Charleston v Jacksonville
1.38 - 4.20 - 6.50
Like their match against Louisville, we have another game involving Jacksonville away that features some of the most lopsided odds you will see in USL. But thinking back to that Louisville match, Jacksonville only lost on a 90’ winner from Louisville nearly escaping Lynn Family Stadium with a draw. While that performance might stick in one’s mind for a bit, this Sporting Jacksonville team are still searching for their first win as a club, have lost their last six games in a row across all competitions, and have not scored in any of their last four games played (or nearly 6.5 hours since their last goal, or enough time to watch all of Marvel’s WandaVision (2021)). Charleston themselves are looking to snap a three game winless run in the league, their first since October 2024.
I just cannot back Jacksonville at all until I see this team win, as they are currently pulling a 2013 Antigua Barracuda like showing on their start as a club. Being back at home for the Battery is also very huge, as Charleston fans have not seen their team lose a USLC home match since March 2025. Picking another extension to the goal drought for Jacksonville, with Charleston snapping their three game winless run in the process.
Bet: Charleston win to nil (2.37)
Miami v Brooklyn
2.10 - 3.30 - 2.90
Some absolutely wild results for both of these teams in their most recent game. Starting with the visitors, Brooklyn picked up their first victory away from Coney Island last weekend with a 3-0 win over the NY Cosmos in the Prinx Cup, making it three games unbeaten against USL clubs for Brooklyn. Miami’s previous week saw them string together back-to-back wins in their Prinx Cup group stage games, first 1-0 against Jacksonville, then a massive 4-1 win over Naples on Wednesday. For the second time this season, Miami has two consecutive wins in games versus USL clubs. Wednesday was also Miami’s largest margin of victory in a match since August 2023—a 4-0 win over El Paso just as Barbie (2023) was hitting theaters.
I still personally need to see more out of this Brooklyn team away from home before I can completely trust them, however I could absolutely see them pulling off the upset over Miami given our preseason expectations for both teams. Suggesting a few options of wagers for this one in what might be a very close affair for both teams.
Bet 1: Brooklyn to score first (2.10)
Bet 2: Brooklyn win or tie first half (1.44)
Bet 3: Under 2.5 total goals (2.00)
Parlay Bets 1 and 2: 2.15
Pittsburgh v Phoenix
1.85 - 3.20 - 3.75
I admittedly have been slower to react to the new paradigm for Pittsburgh Riverhounds matches than I should be. Gone are the days for a low-scoring, grind out the 1-0 scoreline as Rob Vincent’s defending champion Riverhounds side, have a 71% BTTS - Yes stat on the season and are averaging over 3 total goals per game to open the season. Not to mention Highmark, sorry FNB Stadium, is still a fortress for Pittsburgh as they have not lost a home match since September 2025. Phoenix make the trek across the country looking to win three consecutive league games for the first time since May 2025. In this meeting between two long time USL sides separated by conferences, we have only seen five all-time meetings, and Phoenix has not won away at Pittsburgh since September 2014 (or around the same time the first Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) movie was hitting theaters). But, it’s been an even split all-time in the five games of two wins apiece and one draw.
Pittsburgh has not been shutout at home this season and has yet to score under 1.5 goals in a home game as well. Phoenix are finding their form and have been slowly moving up the Western Conference table, but I am backing the Riverhounds to get a result in their newly named FNB Stadium tomorrow.
Bet: Pittsburgh win or draw, over 1.5 total goals (1.57)
Rhode Island v Birmingham
1.65 - 3.50 - 4.50
Just like that, Rhode Island’s early season woes have quietly disappeared and I am no longer looking for my RIFC panic button. Rhode Island are unbeaten inside 90’ in their last six games across all competitions, and in the league, are fresh off the back of a 4-0 win over Charleston for their largest margin of victory in USLC since October 2025. A win tomorrow would see Rhode Island win three consecutive games in the league for the first time since November 2024. Birmingham—the early season incongruent scheduling seems behind them—are entering this game on an unbeaten run against USL opposition of their own, having reached four games without a loss inside 90’ with their 0-0 Prinx Cup result against San Antonio last week (Legion would lose on PKs however). While I do think this Birmingham team slowly continue to build and eventually turn a corner—Legion weirdly have yet to trail in a match at halftime this year—I think they are running into a Rhode Island team hitting their stride at just the right time for this game.
Both sides are at or above 50% BTTS - Yes occurrences in league games this year and both teams are averaging at least 2.5 total goals per match this season, but I think this RIFC are going to announce themselves as part of the conversation for the home playoff spots in the East with a win tomorrow night.
Bet: Rhode Island ML, Over 1.5 total goals (2.10)
Tampa Bay v Indy Eleven
1.55 - 3.80 - 4.75
This might be one of my underrated favorite matchups in USL today, a relic of the old NASL days of Tampa Bay v Indy Eleven—and as someone who loves wagering on the Rowdies, it’s a fixture the Rowdies have only lost to Indy Eleven just three times in 21 meetings. As the last remaining unbeaten team left in USLC, it now becomes a quest to see how far into the season the Rowdies can go before their first defeat in the league. Indy Eleven have not beaten Tampa Bay since September 2018—or when Venom (2018) was getting ready to hit theaters—with the Rowdies having won six of the last ten games against Indy Eleven (including the last four in a row).
I have just been fully onboard with Casciato’s project for Tampa Bay this season, and it has paid dividends for us in wagers. The Rowdies have a 100% return on scoring the opening goal of USLC matches this season, while also having yet to trail at halftime of a match this season. Both teams are averaging at least 2.5 total goals a game this season as well—with Indy Eleven’s last five league games going BTTS - Yes as well. I’m going to keep believing in Tampa Bay until I am given a reason to doubt.
Bet 1: Tampa Bay ML, BTTS - Yes (3.25)
Bet 2: Tampa Bay-Tampa Bay HT/FT Wager (2.30)
Bet 3: Tampa Bay 2-1 Indy Eleven scoreline wager (8.50)
San Antonio v Colorado Springs
2.20 - 3.10 - 2.90
Commiserations to Colorado Springs, who took the Colorado Rapids all the way to penalties in their USOC round of 16 exit on Wednesday, it was Khori Bennett penalty on 119’ to send it to the shootout as well. Getting refocused on the league, while San Antonio have had the week off, will be a tough adjustment for Colorado Springs. Entering this game, San Antonio has seen an uptick in their form, with no losses in their last three games versus USL clubs and keeping two clean sheets in that run. Similarly, Colorado Springs has not lost in any of their last four games against USL teams. Another matchup of two opposite styles as the Switchbacks are the joint-second highest scoring team in the West, while San Antonio are the joint-second lowest goals allowed in the conference.
While this series has been rather one-sided towards San Antonio’s favor (14 wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats in 24 total meetings), the stat that really jumps out to me is that Colorado Springs has still never won a game away at San Antonio in 13 previous trips—including defeats in their last eight visits, seven of which were San Antonio win to nil results. Given that San Antonio boasts USLC’s mark for the lowest BTTS - Yes hit rates (25%, alongside Orange County), I’m going to back the hosts against tired legs for tomorrow to continue their BTTS - No results, but San Antonio ML might be odds favorable enough.
Bet: San Antonio win to nil (3.75)
Sacramento v Orange County
1.90 - 3.00 - 4.00
We have another chapter to be written in the history of these long time USL neighbors as the 33rd meeting between Sacramento and Orange County takes place tomorrow night. It’s a meeting of the two “lowest total goals scored” in a match teams in the league—Orange County the lowest at 1.25 and Sacramento next on 1.63. In fact, the last six games in the league for Orange County has not seen BTTS - Yes scorelines, while Sacramento enters this match unbeaten in their last four games against USL opposition. The history of this series is another in USL that is an even split of 12 wins each and 8 draws, but the recent history has been one controlled largely by the hosting team. Orange County have not won inside 90’ away at Sacramento since August 2023. In the last ten meetings, six of those games were under 2.5 goals, and given how at a premium goals are to come by for games involving these teams in the league, that feels like our wager for this weekend.
Bet: Under 2.5 total goals (1.53)
Las Vegas v Lexington
2.50 - 3.10 - 2.45
Did Lexington need a performance like the one they had last week against Forward Madison in the Prinx Cup—scoring four goals en route to a strong 4-2 win over an improved Madison team. It ended a run of five matches against USL clubs without a win for the Kentucky team and hopefully breathed some confidence back into a side currently under-performing their expectations. Tomorrow’s match provides an excellent chance to build on that confidence as Lexington runs one of the few teams lower than them in the table right now, Las Vegas. The Lights have been the league’s most reliable BTTS - Yes wager all season, with it hitting in 86% of their matches (their win over Monterey Bay from March being the lone match it did not hit in). Coupled with that BTTS - Yes stat, Las Vegas are averaging 4 total goals a match this season, tied with El Paso for most in the league. We could be in for a fun game tomorrow evening if Lexington can find their scoring form—which has been lacking away from home this year, Lexington has yet to score multiple goals in a road USLC league game since March 2025.
If there was ever a time for Lexington to remember how to score, it should come against a Lights team who cannot keep a clean sheet this season. But Lexington still have yet to win a match against Las Vegas all-time, and it was a 1-0 Lights win when Lexington visited the Sin City last season. This may be against my better judgement in this pick, but I offer two separate wagers on this one…because I have a sinking feeling Dr. Lexington might be seeing Las Vegas this weekend.
Bet 1: Lexington win or tie first half (1.36)
Bet 2: BTTS - Yes, Las Vegas win or tie match (2.40)
Bet 3: Lexington win or tie first half, Las Vegas win or tie match parlay (2.30)
Monterey Bay v Tulsa
2.60 - 3.30 - 2.37
In the Prinx Cup last week, Monterey Bay prevailed on a penalty shootout over Oakland to get their first result on the board for the season. We spoke on The USL Show this week how much of a relief that is for Monterey Bay to finally get that result in a match where they looked the most competent they’ve been all season. However, Monterey Bay announced this week that head coach Jordan Stewart would department from the role anyways. A new change in manager awaits as Monterey Bay face another team who picked up a massive result in their last game, FC Tulsa. While a red card to El Paso’s Gabriel Torres on 11’ definitely set the tone for the match early, Tulsa still scored four goals in a 4-1 win over Locomotive on Wednesday. I had been rather tepid on Tulsa all season start to the point of fading them, but this is a game that helped restore a bit of faith and belief in this team. Tulsa scored four goals in a league match for the first time since August 2025 and picked up their first win in the league since March 21st.
Riding a three game win streak, Tulsa are looking to make it four in a row victories over Monterey Bay. You have to go back to April 2019—just before Avengers: Endgame (2019) would enter theater—to find the last time Monterey Bay beat Tulsa. Still though, as much as I liked what I saw from MBFC against Oakland last time out, the change in manager has scared me away from fully trusting them. I do think we see BTTS - Yes (something that’s occurred in the last two games for both teams), but I’m more confident in backing the visitors in this match.
Bet: Tulsa win or tie, BTTS - Yes (2.30)
USL1
Richmond v Westchester
2.05 - 3.30 - 3.00
Our USL weekend gets us started with a fun match on offer as Richmond hosts Westchester. I’ve spoken previously about how different this Westchester team is this season, and they are proving to be reliable for one particular wager this season, over on goals. Against seven USL1 opponents across all competitions, they’ve hit the over 2.5 goals mark in five of those games, but Westchester are entering this match without a win inside 90’ since April 8th. Richmond are reliable for goals themselves, their last four games across all competitions all going over 2.5 goals as well, and it was a 2-1 win over Omaha last time out in the league (a side they have become a weird bogey team for).
When these teams met last season, we were always in for a spectacle, as their first meeting in April 2025 was a 4-4 showcase, followed a 2-2 draw later in May, before someone finally picked up all three points in this series with a 2-0 Richmond win in September. Given that history, let’s root for goals this evening.
Bet: Richmond or Westchester to win, Over 2.5 total goals (2.15)
Portland v NY Cosmos
1.95 - 3.40 - 3.25
We have the return fixture of the first ever NY Cosmos 3.0 game of their club history, and the visitors will be looking for a similar scoreline as they make a visit to Fitzpatrick Stadium for the first time. Both of these USL1 clubs are off the back of games in the Prinx Cup that did not go their way last weekend. The Cosmos were shutout in a 3-0 loss to Brooklyn at home, meanwhile across the Hudson River, Westchester outlasted Portland on penalties, after a 2-2 scoreline at 90’ (where an Ollie Wright goal at 85’ rescued the point before the shootout). That match versus Brooklyn was the first time the Cosmos were shutout in a game this season, but the team still carries a league high 83% BTTS - Yes statline. Portland meanwhile have only seen BTTS - Yes hit in 40% of games played this season.
While the Cosmos are the highest total goals in games side in the league, averaging 4 total goals a game this season, Portland have been the opposite, averaging just 1.40 total goals a game this season, with their last four games in the league seeing just three total goals scored. If Portland want to get their second win of the season out of this match, they’ll need to keep things low-scoring from the Cosmos (exactly the blueprint that saw Portland win 3-1 over the Cosmos back in March). Still think the Cosmos continue to score in every USL1 match they have played, but Portland get something from this game themselves.
Bet 1: Draw (3.40)
Bet 2: 1-1 scoreline (7.00)
Naples v Knoxville
2.37 - 3.10 - 2.70
A pair of teams off the back of 4-1 midweek defeats, but for separate reasons entirely. Knoxville saw that scoreline as they exited the USOC against Columbus Crew on Wednesday—congrats to Knoxville still on being the division’s furthest advanced club and getting that payday. Naples meanwhile looked disorganized and out of sorts as they lost by that scoreline to Miami also on Wednesday.
Sometimes when it is not your night, it really isn’t but this game just quickly got away from Naples, who found themselves 3-0 down after 20’ of play and red cards to both teams in the second half saw each side end on 10 players.
Looking at this match in particular, it was Knoxville who have gotten the better of Naples in all three meetings last season, with the Tennessee club winning two, including this exact fixture in Florida last season. Each of those games saw BTTS - No scorelines and all three were under 2.5 goals (Knoxville’s pair of wins came from 1-0 scorelines). In a weird streak, the last five Knoxville games have all been tied at halftime. Furthermore, both of these teams are averaging under 2.5 total goals in games this season (1.86 for Naples and 2.14 for Knoxville). We may be in for a low-scoring fixture tomorrow evening.
Bet 1: Draw halftime result (2.00)
Bet 2: Under 2.5 total goals (1.57)
Fort Wayne v Charlotte
2.50 - 3.40 - 2.40
I am sure Fort Wayne are thrilled to be finished with their two month road trip to open their existence as a club, as they get set to play their home opener at Ruoff Mortgage Stadium tomorrow night. Personally, I think the stadium looks quite cool and you just love to see new soccer specific stadiums popping across the country, I’m excited for you Fort Wayne fans! Into the match itself, Fort Wayne were able to pick up their first win of the season with a 1-0 scoreline over Chattanooga on April 11th, but last week it was a tough 3-1 loss in the Prinx Cup at the hands of Louisville—but FWFC did lead for a brief moment having scored the opening goal of the match and were tied at halftime too! Charlotte meanwhile saw an Enzo Martinez first half brace be enough goals to win 2-1 over Richmond in their respective Prinx Cup match, which also ended a three match losing skid across all competitions for the Independence.
As a home opener, you’d want to impress the crowd and send the fans home with a win to christen the new ground, which is why I expect this match to be a high-scoring affair. Both teams are averaging over 2 total goals per game this season, Charlotte even averaging 3.5 total goals per game this season. While I am not so certain to back Fort Wayne all the way for a win just yet, I think both teams put on a show for the crowd tomorrow night. Enjoy the evening Fort Wayne fans, this stadium has been a long time coming.
Bet: Over 2.5 total goals (1.80)
Sarasota v Madison
2.50 - 3.20 - 2.50
I think Sarasota might be the USL1 team I cannot get the best read on this season. The team has gone cold lately, with losses in four of their last five games in all competitions, but they did beat (likely a very travel weary) Corpus Christi team last time out in the league to end their three game losing skid. Madison put up a valiant fight against Lexington in the Prinx Cup last week, losing 4-2 ultimately, but have otherwise looked great in the league (loss to Omaha aside). Sarasota has seen their frequency of being the first team to score crater in recent weeks, as it is now just a dismal 29% of games for them this season where they’ve opened the scoring. Both teams have seen goals for them being rare to come by as in the league, each side are averaging under 2.5 total goals scored per game this season. Madison have also yet to trail in a game this season in the league as well (compared to four Sarasota matches being drawn at halftime across their seven played). I think we are in for a low-scoring contest tomorrow night and I fancy the visiting team to get the result more so than the hosts at this time.
Bet: Under 2.5 total goals (1.72)
Omaha v Greenville
1.75 - 3.50 - 3.80
A result so nice, Omaha did it twice as they beat Indy Eleven in another cup match 2-1 last week to open up their Prinx Cup group stage. Omaha has begun this year with just two defeats in eight games across all competitions against USL opposition this year, and could go top of the league this weekend if results go their way. Greenville last week lost 3-0 away at Pittsburgh in their first Prinx Cup match, the club’s heaviest defeat against a USL side since October 2025. Greenville also have not won any of their last five visits to Omaha dating back to June 2022, furthermore, Greenville have only once of the previous 11 meetings between these two teams as well. Omaha at home are just a different team entirely, especially since they have not lost a home league game since July 2025. If in doubt, back Union Omaha.
Bet: Omaha ML, Omaha to score first (1.95)
Corpus Christi v Spokane
2.90 - 3.40 - 2.10
While they may be a bit overshadowed in the home openers this weekend, Corpus Christi FC are also ending their long road trip to open the season and play host to Spokane in their first ever USL1 home match. While they are still looking for a win in the league, Corpus Christi—much like Fort Wayne above—beat Chattanooga in a match last time out to record their first win a USL1 club (in the Prinx Cup). Despite three consecutive defeats in the league, Corpus Christi still managed to find a goal in each one, as they still work to figure out this defense. Spokane make the trip down to Texas looking to win three games in a row in the league for the first time since August 2025. A statline that still sticks out to me on Corpus Christi is that they (alongside Chattanooga) are the only teams in USL1 who have yet to score the opening goal in a league match this season. No better time to get their first ever lead in USL1 play than in the home opener. This will be a complete prayer of a bet in this pick, but I want to back the hosts to finally get an opening goal in a match this season, particularly given these odds.
Bet: Corpus Christi to score first (2.20)
Boise v Chattanooga
2.25 - 3.30 - 2.75
Maybe it’s the early season schedule doing the club no favors (just five games since March 14th across all competitions), but Chattanooga’s season start has been brutal. Fewest games played in USL1 league play at the moment, just one victory on the board and having been shutout in three of those five games played (including to a open division team from the USOC), it’s enough to make me fade the Red Wolves until further notice. On the flip side, fading Chattanooga comes at a perfect time for them to visit Nate Millers’ AC Boise. Off the back of a PK shootout win in the Prinx Cup over Las Vegas (an upset we called last week), the Idaho club are unbeaten in their last four games across all competitions against USL clubs, and just like the Cosmos, having scored in every USL1 league game played this season so far. Last time out in the league at home, it was a 4-0 battering of Westchester.
I truly believe this Boise team will be the league’s best expansion side this season, and their form at home is going to make them a tough to beat as they turn that stadium into a fortress. The Red Wolves are inconsistent and out of form, backing the high-flying Boise team tomorrow night.
Bet: Boise ML (2.25)

Final Thoughts
I spoke about it on this week’s USL Show at the end, but take a moment to visit the ‘Save The Caps’ website. The news across North American soccer this week is the developing story of MLS looking to move the Vancouver Whitecaps out of Vancouver. Matthew Doyle also wrote an excellent piece on the situation as well. No city should ever lose their club—I sadly know from experience—and the Whitecaps should stay in Vancouver. Their fans deserve better than how MLS has handled this situation—deleted tweets from a ‘hacked’ Don Garber Twitter account only making things worse. Football clubs are fixtures of a community, and should not be moved at the whims of their billionaire owners. Keep the Whitecaps in Vancouver.
