Under 3.5 goals at Birmingham vs Las Vegas Lights 1/2 for Thursday’s USL showdown

Competition: USL

Market: Under 3.5 goals

Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Two sides who have shown some recent issues in the final third, Birmingham will host Las Vegas Lights in the early hours of Thursday.

Starting with the hosts, after watching their unbeaten run come to an abrupt end last time out, Birmingham will be hoping for an immediate response here. In their opening 10 USL matchups so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, three draws and four defeats, scoring eight and conceding 11 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 12 from a possible 30, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in ninth in the Eastern Conference and two points adrift of breaking into the Final Series places. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 1-0 loss away at Pittsburgh, that result brought an end to Birmingham’s three-match unbeaten run. However, it should be noted, Thursday’s hosts have seen each of their previous seven USL fixtures finish with under 3.5 goals.

As for the visitors, once again having to settle for a single point last time out, Las Vegas find themselves in the midst of a recent rut. In their opening 11 USL matchups this season, they have recorded four wins, three draws and four defeats, scoring 15 and conceding 16 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 15 from a possible 33, they open the midweek fixtures sat sixth in the Western Conference and holding a two-point buffer from slipping out of the Final Series spots. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw at home against Oakland Roots, Las Vegas have failed to win any of their last four USL outings. Likewise, it should be highlighted, with Thursday’s guests seeing each of their previous five matchups finish with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
