Houston Roughnecks Form

Houston head to the defending UFL champions having resurrected their season with three wins in their last four games.

The Roughnecks won just two games all last season, and made a miserable start to 2025 as they lost back-to-back games.

They opened with a 31-6 blowout loss at home to St Louis, before heading to Arlington for an 11-9 defeat in the ‘Texas Throwdown’.

Houston finally got off the mark with an 18-17 win in Memphis, only to return to losing ways as they were beaten 23-16 at home by Birmingham.

The Roughnecks have not lost since though, backing up a 27-3 victory in San Antonio with a 21-20 win at home to Memphis to improve to 3-3.

Birmingham Stallions Form

Defending champions Birmingham issued an immediate response to their second defeat of the season, improving their record to 4-2.

The Stallions suffered a surprise defeat on opening night as they were beaten 18-11 at the DC Defenders, but they rebounded strongly.

They ran out 21-12 winners in Michigan, before returning home to battle past Arlington in a 10-9 victory.

Birmingham made it three-in-a-row with a 23-16 success in Houston, only for their winning run to end a week later as they were shockingly beaten at home by Memphis, 24-20.

The Stallions issued a swift and emphatic response though, as they blew out San Antonio last weekend, 26-3.

Verdict

Birmingham have wobbled a couple of times this season, but they are the better team.

The Stallions also boast a strong recent record against the Roughnecks, so we are backing the hosts to win and cover on Sunday.
