Match preview

Our model makes Birmingham Legion slight favourites, giving them a 55% chance of winning against 20% for the draw.

Our fair price for "Away win" is 1.83 — the pick only has value at a bookmaker price above that.

We expect 3.7 goals in total (1.46 for Sporting JAX, 2.21 for Birmingham Legion), which points to Over 2.5 as a secondary angle.

Sporting JAX sit 13th on 14 points; Birmingham Legion are 11th on 30.

Check team news before kick-off — a late change to either line-up moves the numbers.
