Birmingham Stallions at Columbus Aviators Predictions & Picks

Birmingham are tipped to cover a small spread as they make it four wins in a row.

The Stallions have turned around their season in recent weeks, with the defense tightening up and the offense doing enough, and last week they held the Aviators to a single field goal.

  • Birmingham Stallions are on a 3-game win streak
  • Birmingham Stallions won 14-3 when the teams met last week
  • Columbus Aviators are 2-6 in their 8 games this season
  • The Under cashed in last week’s meeting between the teams

Head To Head

  • Birmingham Stallions lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Birmingham Stallions won 14-3 when the two teams last met on May 17

Birmingham Stallions Form

Birmingham have kick-started their season over the past few weeks, winning three straight games to get back in the playoff race at 4-4.

The Stallions enjoyed a winning start to the season as they beat Louisville 15-13 on the road, but their form nose-dived after that.

They lost back-to-back road games, 22-20 in Houston and 34-30 at St Louis, before losing their first two home games of the year, 16-0 to Orlando and 45-28 to DC.

Birmingham finally stopped the rot on the road as they beat Orlando 20-17, and they have backed that up with a couple of home wins.

The Stallions edged Dallas in overtime, 21-17, before making it three wins in a row with a 14-3 success against Columbus last time out.

Columbus Aviators Form

Columbus return home having dropped back-to-back games on the road to fall to 2-6 on the season.

The Aviators endured a rough start to life in the UFL as they lost their first three games, falling 23-16 at Orlando, 44-26 to DC and 28-23 in Dallas.

They finally got off the mark in Week 4 as they upset Dallas at home, 28-14, only to then fall to a 17-13 defeat when they visited Houston a week later.

Columbus responded with a 24-17 victory when they hosted the Gamblers a few days later, but they have not won since.

The Aviators were beaten 31-20 in St Louis, before heading to Birmingham for a 14-3 loss to the Stallions.

Verdict

Birmingham appeared to be in crisis when they fell to 1-3 in late April, but they have breathed new life into their season in recent weeks with some gritty wins.

More of the same could be on the cards here, with the Stallions backed for another victory over Columbus on Saturday.
