USL Championship
Charleston v Detroit
1.80 - 3.25 - 3.80
Our USLC weekend gets started with Ben Pirmann’s Charleston Battery, hosting his former club in Detroit City. The month of May has been inconsistently scheduled for the Battery, who have had to endure a period of 13 days between matches at the start of the month, and this being only their third league game of the month. But Charleston will be happy to be back at home where they still have yet to lose (a streak dating back to March 2025 in the league)—and the Battery may especially be happy in knowing that their opponents, Detroit, are still looking for their first road victory on the season as well in the league (two draws and three defeats previously). In each of those five games, Detroit did not lead at any point in those matches and goal they have scored away from home this season, has come in the second half.
While it has been Detroit’s home form that has the Michigan rocketing up the table, their road form is still a concern for me, especially as they meet a Charleston team who are nearly as good at home as Detroit are at Keyworth. Picking Charleston to rebound from their defeat last week, with a win at home as Detroit’s quest for a road victory continues another week.
Bet 1: Charleston ML (1.80)
Bet 2: Charleston to score first (1.66)
Hartford v New Mexico
1.83 - 3.50 - 3.40
We are catching Hartford in one of their worst goal-scoring droughts in league play in quite some time. Aside from their 2-1 win over Detroit on May 9th, their last five games in the league has seen Hartford shutout on four occasions (and outscored 7-3 in that time). For New Mexico, it’s just two defeats in their last five league games played, with each of those losses featuring NMU being shutout (not to mention a heavy 4-0 defeat to Colorado Springs in the Cup as well in that run). But for two teams even on points currently, and currently marred in a mid-table mediocrity matchup, this game can represent a spark to turn around the season. For Hartford, they simply have to score in this match for not to be officially worried about their threat in front of goal. For New Mexico, just one win away from this year, and looking for their first win away at an Eastern Conference team since March 2025 (they did lose to Hartford away last season 4-0…), that is not reassuring of form for me to be entirely confident in this side. Have we low key ran into another edition of the “stoppable force meets the movable object”, if so, there’s only one outcome to select…
Bet 1: Draw (3.50)
Scoreline wager: 0-0 (13.00)
Indy Eleven v Rhode Island
2.50 - 3.40 - 2.37
A pair of teams off the back of wins last time out in the league, as this match could prove to be vitally important come the end of the season with each team either side of the playoff line at the moment. For Indy Eleven, they are trying to win three games in a row in USLC play for the first time since June 2024, while Rhode Island are looking for their first win over Indy Eleven since these sides met in the 2024 USLC playoffs. Both of these sides have been extremely reliable wagers for goals this season, each having a BTTS - Yes hit ratio of 77%, and each are averaging over 2.5 total goals per game this season (RIFC averaging over 3 total goals per game this season in fact). However, only two of their five all-time meetings have been BTTS - Yes and over 2.5 goals (both of those games going over 4.5 goals actually). History of the series aside, Indy Eleven have not been shutout at home since June 2025 (1-0 defeat to Las Vegas), while you have to go back to last season’s Eastern Conference to find the last time Rhode Island were shutout on the road. Not to mention Indy Eleven has still not lost a home match since to a team that’s not Union Omaha since August 2025 (Louisville 3-1).
I do believe both teams are finding a goal in this match, but it will be Indy Eleven at least walking away with the points in this one. Add on a further leg to the parlay for if you are more confident in there being more than just the BTTS - Yes total goals being scored.
Bet: Indy Eleven win or draw, BTTS - Yes (2.25)
Louisville v Tampa Bay
1.83 - 3.50 - 3.40
The match of the weekend by all accounts for the USL Championship—Nicholas Murray certainly agrees as well. But gather here if you are starting to get rather worried about Louisville City of recent weeks. Having lost three consecutive games in the league, the reigning player shield winners have been going through their worst stretch of league games since July 2023 (when they also lost three in a row). Coming off their high-scoring loss to Miami from last weekend, 4-3 (and their first defeat to Miami since September 2023 in another 4-3 scoreline), I am hesitantly worried about Louisville City. Losing four games in a row in the league would a first for the club’s existence, even going four matches winless in the league would be a first since June 2018 (when they went five games winless at the time, and when Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) was in theaters).
Now, that’s not to take anything away from an excellent Tampa Bay Rowdies team, the league’s last remaining unbeaten side. I have been a big follower, and we’ve taken lots of profit already, of Dom Casciato’s Rowdies team this season, who have opened a seven point lead atop the Eastern Conference already. Tampa Bay are looking for their first win against Louisville since October 2023 (also the last time they won away at Louisville).
In admittedly a tough to predict game, this match will be a great test for both teams and may very well set the rest of the tone for the Eastern Conference. I quite like these odds for Tampa Bay ML that I think it’s worth a sprinkle, but you have to imagine Louisville scores in this match (the club has not been shutout in back-to-back home games in the league ever before). The safe option is to pick goals in this match, but that might not result in the best odds return, so the better angle is to play for the visitors. I offer a few options.
Bet 1: Tampa Bay ML (3.40)
Bet 2: BTTS - Yes, Over 2.5 total goals (2.10)
Bet 3: Tampa Bay win or draw first half, Tampa Bay to score first (2.40)
Pittsburgh v Miami
1.65 - 3.50 - 4.50
The surprise package of the season has to be Miami FC, I’m not sure any of us would’ve had this team above the reigning league champions after a third of the season played, and certainly not Miami having defeat Louisville and Rhode Island already on the year. But off the back of their high-scoring 4-3 win over Louisville (aforementioned an identical scoreline to their last win over Louisville), the South Beach club are riding a high wave of momentum as they prepare to visit Highmark Stadium and look for their first win away at Pittsburgh since August 2021. For the Riverhounds, their title defense season has been more a mixed bag of results. Undoubtedly some good results in beating Louisville away and Detroit at home, but some equally puzzling ones in losing to Phoenix at home and falling on PKs to Charlotte in the Cup (each of these games happening this month).
But this stadium has not been a kind one to visit for Miami, failing to win in each of their last four visits (however they’ve nearly escaped with a result win only to settle for a 1-1 draw in two of those games). I do believe Miami are capable of getting a result from this match, especially with the side looking to earn their first win away from home since April. That being said, I’m still more inclined to side with the hosts in this one, but a win for Miami would be a massive statement of intent for the season.
Bet: Pittsburgh win or tie, Under 2.5 total goals (2.15)
Oakland v Colorado Springs
2.40 - 3.30 - 2.50
Oakland under Ryan Martin have certainly been reliable for goals, as in their 3-2 defeat to Orange County last week, they played out their 8th game this season in a BTTS - Yes scoreline, and have gone over 2.5 goals in a game on seven occasions. But while the goals have been there, the results are trickier to predict (even with just two defeats on the board, having split their other eight games with four wins and four draws makes result betting Oakland a bit more uncertain). But we may be in for another high-scoring showcase as we welcome Colorado Springs to the Coliseum, another team averaging over 2.5 total goals per game this year, and has their BTTS - Yes scoreline near 80% on the season. But the Switchbacks have gone winless in their last three league games for the first time since April of this season, but they are visiting a team who they have not lost to June 2023 (an unbeaten run of six games in this series and Oakland’s only win over Colorado Springs all-time).
I think at minimum, we are going to see goals in this game, but can the Roots overturn that historical trend and pick up their first win over Colorado Springs at home in the history of this series? Oakland ML/BTTS - Yes looks intriguing, but I’ll offer a few options at minimum to wager on this one.
Bet 1: BTTS - Yes/Over 2.5 total goals (2.05)
Bet 2: Oakland ML/BTTS - Yes (4.75)
Bet 3: Oakland win or draw first half (1.36)
El Paso v Lexington
2.05 - 3.50 - 2.90
El Paso will certainly be glad they had the USL Cup match on Wednesday (a 2-0 win over AV Alta) to use as a ‘get right’ game as the Texan side have gone their last three games in the league without a win for the first time since the end of the 2025 season (though they have scored in each of those three games, with each being over 2.5 goals and BTTS - Yes as well). Lexington are off the back of a 3-1 defeat to Indy Eleven last week and are still searching for their first road victory since September 2025 (eight games away from home since then without a win). Not to mention El Paso also still holds an all-time series lead over Lexington of winning both of their previous meetings (each by a score of 2-1, each scoring first and leading at half in each of those games).
With both of these teams leaking goals of a late, I feel confident in taking BTTS - Yes/Over 2.5 total goals in this match, but will lean the way of El Paso for the result as I am going to keep fading Lexington until they get a road victory.
Bet: El Paso win or draw, BTTS - Yes/Over 2.5 total goals (2.40)
Monterey Bay v Loudoun
2.40 - 3.40 - 2.50
Well done Monterey Bay in picking up your first win on the season last week in a 2-0 win over the Birmingham Legion (sorry Kaylor…). I had mentioned previously that I felt like Monterey Bay’s first win was around the corner, eventually, and to pick up that first one of the season just instilled some belief back into the team (and it was the first time they covered a -1.5 spread since March 2025). MBFC welcome in a Loudoun United team who lead the league in draws (6) and currently are on a six match unbeaten run (with five of those draws in that time…). The Limbrick era at Loudoun has been a challenging to predict start (though mainly that’s just me not tending to predict as many draws). Loudoun’s 1-0 win over Brooklyn back on May 9th is their lone win on the board thus far. To the benefit of the hosts, Monterey Bay lead the all-time series of this match 2-1, but it was a 3-0 win for Loudoun last time these teams met in May 2024.
With both sides averaging under 50% hit rates in getting the opening goal of matches, and their BTTS - Yes returns hovering at around 50%, it is not exactly the stats that inspire a return on goals. Furthermore, both of these teams have been leading at halftime only once all season, each. In Loudoun’s first cross country away day of the season, it will be interesting to see how they approach this one and that might even bode well for the hosts here, but I think I see an opportunity for a result wager in this one.
Bet: Draw Halftime-Draw Fulltime (6.00)
(Of note, BetMGM offers odds on Draw for either HT/FT, though those odds have not been posted).
Las Vegas v Tulsa
2.62 - 3.25 - 2.35
Alright Tulsa, this recent run of form has put my concerns at your start of the season (which was one win in their first six games played) at ease. The reigning league runner-ups have won three games in a row in the league for the first time since their run to the final last season (outscoring opponents 8-2 in that time). This looks more like the Luke Spencer team of last year as Tulsa has leapt up the table back into the home playoff spots. Las Vegas meanwhile are off the back of a 2-0 win over Colorado Springs and have won their last two home games (first time winning back-to-back home games since April 2024). Las Vegas remains one of our more reliable teams for goals in their matches—80% of their games having been BTTS - Yes and the second highest team in the league for total goals scored (only El Paso ahead). For Tulsa, they have been averaging under 2.5 total goals a game this season, and their BTTS - Yes hit rate just over 50%.
All that being said, this is a Tulsa team who have not lost to Las Vegas in ten previous all-time meetings, and Las Vegas has not even drawn Tulsa since September 2024 (and have not drawn with Tulsa at home since May 2023). A lot of history is working in favor of the visitors here and given these odds, I think I am leaning towards back that historical trend, but let’s keep this one a bit safer.
Bet: Tulsa Draw No Bet (1.72)
Phoenix v Sacramento
2.80 - 3.10 - 2.30
Closing out our Saturday night with one of the great Western Conference matchups as Phoenix Rising play host to Sacramento Republic, in the 31st edition of this series (of which it has been quite even, 11 draws with 10 wins going the way of Sacramento and 9 going the way of Phoenix). November 2023, when Phoenix knocked Republic out of the playoffs, was the last time they were able to beat the California side (Sacramento carrying a five match unbeaten run in this series since then). However, both teams are coming off humbling defeats in the league last time out, Phoenix losing 3-0 to Tampa Bay (trailing at halftime 3-0 for the first time since July 2023 when, coincidentally enough, Sacramento led 4-0 at halftime) and Sacramento losing 2-1 to San Antonio. When these sides met back in April of this year, it was a 2-0 win for Sacramento. As both teams find themselves on the edge of the playoff line in the mid-table at the moment, a win tomorrow would go a long way in creating some space for the victor.
Both teams are averaging at or below 2.5 total goals scored per game this season, and strangely, Sacramento has led at halftime of just one match all season. I think this game will be headed for another low-scoring affair for these teams, and I believe an angle can exist for the hosts to not be trailing at the break. A fulltime result would be a bit trickier to forecast however.
Bet: Phoenix win or tie first half, Under 2.5 total goals (2.10)
Jacksonville v Brooklyn
2.50 - 3.30 - 2.50
What a match that was for Sporting Jacksonville on Wednesday. Leading 3-0 at half, only to throw away said lead against San Antonio to trail 4-3, only to then tie it(!) it at 89’ to share the points, 4-4. While the Florida club is still searching for their first win in the league on the season, to their credit, they are unbeaten in their last three matches played across all competitions (and have not been shutout in their last four played). Brooklyn enters this ‘2026 expansion derby’ having lost their last four games played across all competitions and are hoping not to make it four consecutive defeats in the league for the first time since March. In that time, Brooklyn have been outscored 10-3 and failed to score the opening goal in each of those four games.
Brooklyn I’ve described as “streaky” in the past so their form can flip at a moment’s notice, but I’ve also been fading Jacksonville until they can prove to me that they can win a match. This might be their best chance of the season thus far and honestly, I’m willing to take a chance knowing they might very well miss the opportunity, that Jacksonville gets their first win of the season here.
Bet: Jacksonville ML (2.50)
USL1
Knoxville v Greenville
1.83 - 3.70 - 3.40
We get our USL weekend started with Knoxville v Greenville, as the hosts are looking to avoid going three games winless in the league for the first time since June 2025. For Greenville, even though they stopped their losing streak last week with a 1-1 draw away at Portland, the side has still be in absolute free fall with no wins since March and winless in their last four league games (first time since the end of the 2025 season that has happened for Greenville). Knoxville has also won their last three games against the Triumph all-time as well. Picking the hosts to halt this winless run and pick up the victory this evening as the woes for Greenville continue to worsen.
Bet: Knoxville ML, Knoxville to score first (2.10)
Madison v Corpus Christi
1.90 - 3.50 - 3.40
Also this evening, we have Madison’s second game at Breese Stevens Field this season as the Wisconsin club hosts newcomers Corpus Christi on CBS Golazo. Madison took an early lead against Charlotte last week, only to fall behind 10’ later to ultimately lose 3-1. Corpus Christi meanwhile are the last team in USL1 still searching for their first win in the league, but amazingly are only two points behind. Eamon Zayed has had a challenging start schedule wise, to the season as Corpus Christi face another road match, but it does feel like this team is around the corner from their first win on the season.
Madison are looking to avoid their third consecutive loss in the league, which has not happened since July 2025. While I do think CCFC are eventually going to find their first win in the league in the coming weeks, I’m less confident in it coming this evening against Madison—especially since last week was only the first time CCFC scored the opening goal of a match this season in the league as well as being the first time since season they’ve been leading at halftime. Backing the goals to be scored in this one.
Bet 1: Over 2.5 total goals (1.95)
Portland v Spokane
2.45 - 3.40 - 2.45
We begin our Saturday with Portland Hearts of Pine playing host to Spokane Velocity. After meeting in the playoff semifinals last season (with Spokane prevailing on PKs), this is the first matchup since that playoff game. Portland has put a league high 5 draws on the board to open this season, while Spokane are looking at a chance to keep pace with Omaha for their battle atop the league table. Furthermore, Spokane are looking to win three games in a row in the league for the first time since August 2025. Whilst the match was sort of a dead rubber when Portland won 6-1 over Spokane when Velocity visited Fitzpatrick Stadium at the tail end of last regular season, Spokane will certainly be hoping for a much better showing from their side this time out.
I think we will have a fun one on our hands tomorrow evening, especially since both of these teams have had three of their last five games played go over 2.5 total goals. While the hosts have been prone to getting lots of draws to open the season, I just feel like this game is going to see a winner out of it.
Bet: Portland or Spokane to win, Over 2.5 total goals (2.30)
Chattanooga v Charlotte
2.30 - 3.50 - 2.55
You’ll always take a win no matter the circumstances, but it was quite the silly way for Chattanooga to pick up a 5-0 victory over Richmond on Wednesday given the state of the pitch they were playing on…
But that win for Chattanooga ended up being their largest margin of victory in club history and the first time they scored five goals in a match since 2023. With matches still in hand over most of the rest of USL1, the Red Wolves still have the opportunity move up the league table in playing catch up. Welcoming in Charlotte (to hopefully better playing conditions) will be no easy feat as the Independence are unbeaten in their last six games played across all competitions and are now looking to go five games unbeaten in the league for the first time since May 2025. In this 12th all-time meeting, Chattanooga hold a three match unbeaten streak over Charlotte, having these two meetings played. In five all-time visits to CHI Memorial Stadium, Charlotte have only won on just one occasion (July 2024). If the pitch plays any role in this one, that has to be seen as an advantage for the hosts and might very well be the reason I will back them in this game.
Bet: Chattanooga win or draw (1.44)
Richmond v Boise
3.25 - 3.40 - 2.05
Two teams who took surprising defeats on Wednesday of this week, each for different reasons. For the visitors Boise, who have now lost their last two games played (each at home), are we starting to see a blip in the form for Nate Miller’s team? For the hosts, Richmond suffered a 5-0 battering at Chattanooga (with the aforementioned rain soaked pitch) that I think you have to quickly just put out of mind as a game that got away from the Kickers (though they have lost their last two games played across all competitions by a combined 9-0…). As a pair of teams looking to rebound in this match, I think that bodes well for us to see some goals in this game, as each team are averaging at or above 2.5 total goals per match this season. That being said, I think I have more faith in Boise to get a result than Richmond, so perhaps that’s worth a sprinkle on Boise Draw No Bet given these odds (1.50).
Bet: Over 2.5 total goals (1.85)
Fort Wayne v AV Alta
2.20 - 3.30 - 2.87
I think it’s officially time to get on the Fort Wayne bandwagon as the side enters this match unbeaten in their last five games in the league (including some massive wins over Portland and Boise in that time). I had picked preseason that Fort Wayne would be a playoff team and one of the two best expansion sides in the league this season and they appear to now be entering that level of form in these past few weeks. On the AV Alta side of things, they are going after their first four match winning streak in the league since July 2025—though they did lose 2-0 to El Paso in the Cup midweek. The visitors are surely not an easy outing for any side as of late, but this being just their third road match of the year definitely weighs in my mind (it’s the fewest road games played this season thus far). I think we ride the hot streak that the hosts are on and pick them to get a win to make it now six games unbeaten in the league.
Bet: Fort Wayne ML (2.20)
Sarasota v NY Cosmos
1.65 - 3.70 - 4.33
The matches on Wednesday of this midweek clarified some items for both of these teams. For Sarasota, I think I am ready to pump the brakes on my fading of them, as a massive 2-0 win over Boise (away no less) ended a six match losing streak across all competitions. For the Cosmos, it is now three losses in a row in the league after their 90’ goal conceded to lose 2-1 to Omaha, and four defeats in their last five played across all competitions. These two sides are the two worst defenses in the league at the moment (the only two teams with goals conceded at or above 20 right now too). I mentioned it on this week’s USL Show, but Cosmos games have been plentiful for goals, and beneficial for our over 2.5 total goals wagers. That alone has to be what back for this match of expecting this game to be rather high-scoring, but I am going to back the hosts to get a point out of this game as the worries for the Cosmos continue to worsen.
Bet: Sarasota win or draw, Over 2.5 total goals (1.95)
Omaha v Naples
1.60 - 3.60 - 4.50
A lesson learned on Wednesday is to never count out Omaha, as the side left it late against the Cosmos only to eek out another win for the league leaders (a comfortable five point lead atop the table I may add). That’s unbeaten in their last five league games played for the first time since the end of last season—though it was their opponents this week who ended Omaha’s year last season. Naples, for as much panic I had over their recent four match winless run in the league (which was ended with a 1-0 win over Westchester last week), are still in the top four of the league at the moment and go into a tie for second this week if results go their way.
In this match of the USL1 weekend, we are given two really talented squads that split their season meetings last year with each one win and one draw (only for Naples to prevail on penalties in the playoffs from that one draw). But Omaha are at home and if in doubt, always back the Nebraska team at home here. I’m confident that Omaha are able to score twice, but do you think Naples (who have a BTTS - Yes hit rate of a league low 27%) can score? I offer a few options.
Bet 1: Omaha ML, Omaha to score first (1.80)
Correct score wagers: Omaha 2-0 (7.50), Omaha 2-1 (9.50)
USL Super League Final
Lexington v Carolina Ascent
1.85 - 3.60 - 3.40
We bring a close to the second season of the USL Super League with the final occurring tomorrow between Lexington and Carolina Ascent. The two Players’ Shield winners in league history face off as Lexington attempt to do the double, while Carolina will look to finish the job they fell short of completing last season. Both sides prevailed in a low-scoring, “win to nil” result in the semifinals last week, which would beg the question on if this final will be similarly low-scoring tomorrow? Across seven all-time meetings (two of the three meetings occurring this season), this matchup has gone under 2.5 total goals—and results wise it was a perfectly even split of one win apiece and a draw in their three matches this season. Carolina would score the opening goal in each of those three games as well, and enter this final having won 11 of their last 12 games played (and their last seven in a row). Lexington are unbeaten in their last six played entering the final, but that team to last defeat them…was Carolina back in April.
I do think this game leans more towards the low-scoring affair that we have seen from this series already this season, with the opening goal being absolutely crucial. Given these odds, I think the better angle to play is going to be backing the Carolina Ascent to lift the trophy and finishing the job they were unable to do last season. But if Lexington are able to find the opening goal, that does make the job much more challenging for the Ascent who have trailed for just 9’ since the side last lost on February 14th.
Bet 1: Carolina Ascent ML (3.40)
Bet 2: Under 2.5 total goals (1.75)
Bet 3: Lexington 0-1 Carolina correct scoreline (9.50)

Final Thoughts
Over the past week, I surpassed 200 total miles run in 2026, already ahead of the pace of total miles I ran in 2025 (483).
In my second trip to the movie theaters this year, I saw the Backrooms (2026) yesterday. As someone who is not usually a horror movie viewer, I must say that I did like seeing this film. The feeling of the film was eerie, with some excellent camera work and great set design.
