St Louis Battlehawks at DC Defenders Preview & Picks

St Louis are tipped to cover the spread as they win in DC.

The Battlehawks offense has found its feet over the past few weeks and DC lack the firepower to keep pace.

  • St Louis Battlehawks are on a 3-game win streak
  • St Louis Battlehawks are 2-0-0 ATS in their last 2 games
  • DC Defenders are 1-3-0 ATS so far this season
  • The Over has cashed in each of St Louis’ last 3 games

Head To Head

  • DC Defenders lead the all-time series 3-0
  • DC Defenders won 28-20 when the two teams last met in March 2023

St Louis Battlehawks Form

St Louis head to the nation’s capital riding a three-game win streak that has improved their record to 3-1.

The Battlehawks came into the season as one of the favourites to be crowned the first ever UFL champions, but they got off to a bad start.

They visited Michigan for their season-opening game and we sunk by a 64-yard field goal, losing 18-16 to the Panthers.

St Louis put that behind them a week later though, as a last-gasp field goal of their own secured a 27-24 win over Arlington in their home opener.

The Battlehawks then downed the Brahmas 31-24 in San Antonio, before returning home to beat Memphis 32-17 a week ago.

DC Defenders Form

DC return home looking to bounce back from a road defeat that has left them with a 2-2 record after four weeks.

The Defenders were a dominant force in the 2023 XFL, up until their shock defeat to Arlington in the championship game.

They came into this season with high hopes, but mis-fired on opening night as they were beaten 27-12 in San Antonio.

DC bounced back quickly though, beating Houston 23-18 in their home opener, and they backed that up by staging a late fightback to win 29-28 in Arlington a week later.

The Defenders failed to make it three-in-a-row though, as they gave up a late lead to lose 20-18 in Birmingham last weekend.

Verdict

St Louis’ offense has been clicking over the past few weeks and they are backed to put DC to the sword on Sunday.
