Columbus Aviators at Houston Gamblers Predictions & Picks

Columbus are tipped to back up their first ever victory in the UFL.

The Aviators will be full of confidence after taking down Dallas last time out, while Houston have now dropped back-to-back games and are struggling on defense.

  • Columbus Aviators are coming off the back of their 1st win
  • Houston Gamblers are 1-3 so far this season
  • Houston Gamblers have allowed a league-high 125 points
  • These two teams allow a combined 58.5 points per game

Head To Head

  • This is the first ever meeting between the two teams

Columbus Aviators Form

Columbus head to Houston looking to build on their first ever victory in the UFL – which improved them to 1-3.

The Aviators were one of three teams added to the league in the offseason, but they endured a rough start to life in the league.

They kicked off the campaign at fellow newcomers Orlando, and suffered a 23-16 defeat at the hands of the Storm.

Columbus then lost 44-26 to defending champions DC in their home opener, before heading back out on the road to lose 28-23 in Dallas.

The Aviators got their revenge on the Renegades though, beating them 28-14 at home last week to finally get off the mark.

Houston Gamblers Form

Houston enter this matchup in desperate need of a victory, having lost three of their first four games of the season.

The Gamblers, rebranded from the Roughnecks in the offseason, lost 36-17 at Dallas as they kicked off the season with a ‘Texas Showdown’.

They issued the perfect response in the form of a 22-20 win over Birmingham in their home opener, but their joy was short-lived.

Houston went back out on the road and suffered a 45-7 blowout defeat when they visited the defending champion DC Defenders.

The Gamblers then dropped a home meeting with Louisville, losing 24-22 in overtime to the Kings.

Verdict

Both teams have just one win through four weeks, but we have more confidence in Columbus.

The Aviators put up two good showings against Dallas – winning one of them – and they can make it back-to-back victories here.
