Birmingham Legion form and stats

Birmingham Legion have played 6 USL Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Birmingham Legion with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Hartford Athletic game, 48 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The Birmingham Legion followers got no joy from their last fixture, a US Open Cup duel also played here at BBVA Compass Field: A 0-1 defeat against Inter Miami.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Detroit City (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Birmingham have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 4 and lost 4.

Scoring bonanza? Who knows about this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 latest league games with this team has seen three goals or more.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Birmingham Legion, as the USL Championship home game vs Loudoun United is only four days away.

A decent goal production from Birmingham Legion in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Birmingham Legion with 13 goals conceded in these matches.
