Our Prediction for Birmingham Legion vs Charleston Battery
The team from Alabama did not shine last season either. In 2024, they earned 45 points and finished ninth — falling short of North Carolina and Pittsburgh by just one win. The visitors, however, performed well even then. With 64 points, they finished second in the regular season, trailing only Louisville City. But in the playoffs, after beating Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, they were knocked out by Rhode Island in the conference final.
This season, Ben Pirmann's squad looks even more confident. After fourteen matches, they managed to lead the standings, collecting 31 points — keeping pace with Louisville and putting some distance between themselves and the chasing teams. On the other hand, June did not go well: a series of defeats with only a single win against Sacramento. The visitors, meanwhile, seem to be coming out of their decline. Yet, between victories over Hartford Athletic away and Phoenix Rising at home, they lost 0-1 to FC Miami.
Briggs' men have scored fifteen goals so far, but have conceded six fewer. The ambitious guests average 2.29 goals scored per match, with only 1.07 allowed into their own net.
