Competition: USA USL Championship
Date: Wed 16.October
Match begins: 23:00 (UTC)
Venue: MUSC Health Stadium (6563 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Charleston Battery are in the 21st position while the guests worry at 30th.

It's no vacation for neither Charleston Battery nor Memphis 901 as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Memphis 901 have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Charleston Battery form and stats

6-6-3 (win-draw-lost) are the USL Championship numbers at home for Charleston Battery so far this season.

The Charleston Battery crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Loudoun United here at MUSC Health Stadium in a USL Championship match. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Birmingham Legion the opponent.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match.

Memphis 901 failed to get anything from their last game, a USL Championship home match vs Charlotte Independence (placed 28th) that ended with defeat 1-2. A 0-3 defeat away at Indy Eleven before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
