Louisville Kings Form

Louisville head out to face the defending champions having seen a two-game win sequence come to an end last time out.

The Kings, one of three new teams to enter the league this season, endured a disappointing start to the season as they lost three straight games.

Having dropped the opener at home to Birmingham, 15-13, they then lost back-to-back meetings with fellow newcomers Orlando, losing 19-9 on the road and 29-27 in overtime at home.

Louisville finally got off the mark in Week 4 as they downed Houston in overtime on the road, 24-22, and they backed that up a week later with a 47-25 upset of the Renegades in Dallas.

The Kings failed to make it three-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 16-3 by St Louis in Week 6.

DC Defenders Form

Defending champions DC enter this matchup as the league’s hottest team, having now won five straight games.

The Defenders kicked off the season with a 16-10 defeat in St Louis, but their response has been nothing short of emphatic.

They got off the mark a week later with a 44-26 victory in Columbus, and backed that up by blowing out Houston in their home opener, 45-7.

DC then avenged their season-opening loss to St Louis with a 28-22 victory at home, before heading to Birmingham to take down the Stallions 45-28.

The Defenders then made it five-in-a-row last weekend as they returned home to beat Dallas 24-6 and improve to 5-1.

Verdict

DC are simply the better team in better form heading into Saturday’s matchup.

The Defenders offense has been almost unstoppable in recent weeks, so we expect a comfortable win over Kings.
