The Birmingham Legion manager T. Soehn attacks this game with the team placed 7th so far. In the visitors dressing room Charlotte Independence and their manager M. Jeffries are in 12th place before this match.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a USL Championship match only four days ago. That game was an away game at North Carolina, so at least Birmingham are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Birmingham Legion form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Birmingham Legion's two home games in the USL Championship so far this season, having collected 4 points here at BBVA Compass Field.

Birmingham faced defeat in their previous match, away at North Carolina (0-1). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Atlanta United II are coming to town in three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Birmingham Legion at home in the league. 4 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
