With the 2020 USL season steamrolling right along, it’s time to find out which teams are in action this coming week and which teams are offering the best chances to cash in against their soccer betting odds.

2020 USL Championship Betting – Highlights, Top Picks, Previews

Atlanta United 2 (1-3-1) vs. Charleston Battery (2-2-0)

Atlanta is in third place in the group H standings with four points while Charleston is in second place in group H with six points. The United 2 bounced back from their 3-0 shutout loss against the Charleston Battery to get past Miami 4-3 on Wednesday. Following their win over Atlanta last week, Charleston was on the wrong end of a humbling 2-0 shutout loss against Tampa Bay on Friday.

While Charleston clearly isn’t an elite squad and they managed to beat Atlanta United 2 the last time they met, I’m going with the United 2 to get a small measure of revenge in this meeting, mostly out of straight-up revenge. Yes, Atlanta is an uninspiring -4 in goal differential, but Charleston hasn’t exactly been setting the league on fire with their own modest +1 scoring differential mark.

Pick: Atlanta 3 Charleston 2
When: Wednesday, August 5 at 6:30 PM
Where: Fifth Third Bank Stadium

Miami FC (0-2-0) vs. Tampa Bay Rowdies (3-0-2)

Miami is in last place in Group H (-4) while Tampa Bay sits atop the USL standings. Miami has dropped both of its contests so far in falling to St. Louis 4-1 in their opener on March 7 and then ending up on the wrong side of a narrow 4-3 loss against Atlanta on Wednesday in their first game since the hiatus. Conversely, Tampa Bay has yet to be beaten in five matches. The Rowdies have won two straight including a convincing 2-0 win over the Charleston Battery on Friday. With these two rivals having polar opposite goal scoring differential figures with Miami at -4 and Tampa Bay at +4, the Rowdies look like the easy pick to get the win to stay unbeaten.

Pick: Tampa Bay 3 Miami 1
When: Friday, August 7, 2020 at 6:00 PM
Where: Riccardo Silva Stadium

Pittsburgh Riverhounds (3-2-0) vs. NY Red Bulls II (2-2-0)

Pittsburgh is in second place in the group F standings with nine points while New York is in third place in group F with six points. The Riverhounds snapped a two-game skid by smacking Philadelphia around en route to a commanding 4-0 shutout win on Saturday while New York has won two straight including a hard-fought 2-1 win over Pittsburgh on July 26. With Pittsburgh playing at home in this affair and feeling good after smacking Philly around the last time out, I’m going with the Riverhounds to get it done by a lone goal in this affair to extract some revenge for their recent loss against New York.

Pick: Pittsburgh 2 New York 1
When: Saturday, August 8, 2020 at 6:00 PM
Where: Highmark Stadium

While Major League Soccer gets the lion’s share of global media attention when it comes to North American soccer, it is the lesser known United Soccer League that is the largest professional soccer organization in North America. With that said and the 2020 USL campaign steamrolling toward its annual championship showdown, it’s time to take a look at who’s in action on Wednesday night and which teams are offering the best betting value against their USL odds.

USL Championship Games Odds – Top Picks, Preview

Indy Eleven (4-0-1) vs. Hartford Athletic (3-0-0)

Indy Eleven is sitting in first place in Group E but they had their four-game winning streak snapped in their 1-0 road loss against St. Louis C on July 18. Hartford is sitting in first place in Group F. The Athletic improved to 3-0 on the season by subduing Philadelphia Union II 3-2 on Saturday. These two rivals split two meetings a year ago with both teams winning at home and I like the home, Indy Eleven to get it done in this one, seeing as how they’ve put nine goals on the board to Hartford’s seven while allowing four goals to the Athletic’s three. I like the value Hartford is offering in this clash and this one could come down to a draw, though, again, I’m going with Indy mostly because they’re playing at home.

Pick: Indy Eleven 2 Hartford 1
When: Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at 6:00 PM ET
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium

Money Lines: Hartford +104 / Indy Eleven -138 / Draw +333

Atlanta United 2 (0-1-3) vs. The Miami FC (0-0-1)

Atlanta United 2 is sitting in third place in Group H. After dropping their first two games of the season, Atlanta got a 2-2 draw against Memphis in their third game of the season. Unfortunately, the United 2 got smacked around by Charleston in their humbling 3-0 shutout loss on July 19. Miami FC is sitting in last place in Group H after losing their opener and only game this season, 4-1 against St. Louis on Friday. Miami might be favored in this affair, but I like the value that Atlanta is offering as a home underdog in this clash. I know Atlanta is winless through four matches and has allowed eight goals while scoring just three, but Miami looked awful in their convincing loss against St. Louis last weekend and now, the United 2 are completely desperate and playing at home. I like Atlanta to get their first win of the season in this meeting.

Pick: Atlanta 3 Miami 2
When: Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at 6:30 PM ET
Where: Fifth Third Bank Stadium
Atlanta United 2 Vs The Miami FC Live: ESPN
Money Lines: Miami FC -135 / Atlanta United 2 +102 / Draw +271
Total: 3

Louisville City FC (2-0-2) vs. Sporting Kansas City II (0-0-3)

Louisville is sitting in third place in Group E after picking up their second win of the season by beating…you guessed it – Sporting Kansas City – 1-0 on Saturday. KC is sitting in last place in Group E while failing to pick up a victory through three games. Louisville has won two straight in this rivalry and three of the last four meetings overall while putting an insane eight goals on the board in one of their two meetings last year. Kansas City has dropped six straight matches dating back to the end of last season while getting outscored 17-7 during the span. While Louisville is -1 in goal scoring differential, Kansas City is -3 in goal differential. More importantly, Louisville has found a way to win ugly twice in four tries this season and they look like they should easily be able to extend their winning ways against Sporting Kansas City in this matchup.

Pick: Louisville 3 Kansas City 1
When: Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at 7:00 PM ET
Where: Lynn Family Stadium
Louisville City FC Vs Sporting Kansas City II Live: ESPN
Money Lines: Sporting KC II -102 / Louisville FC -129 / Draw +336
