Charleston Battery vs Birmingham Legion: match statistics

165%(1.50)
X25%(4.00)
210%(5.40)

Charleston Battery is in significantly better form, winning all home matches this season (100% record) and averaging 2 points per game in their last 5 matches. The hosts have scored 2 goals while conceding only 1 at home, resulting in a positive goal difference. Birmingham Legion, on the other hand, has yet to win any away match this season and is in very poor form with just 0.8 points per game in their last 5 matches. The visitors have not scored a single goal away from home, which, combined with Charleston Battery's efficiency (22% shot conversion rate), points to a clear advantage for the hosts. Additionally, the complete lack of offensive statistics for Birmingham Legion in away matches (0 shots, 0% possession) confirms their weakness in attack on the road. All these factors unequivocally point to a Charleston Battery victory.
