USL Championship

USL Championship produces a moderate scoring rate of 2.82 total goals per match across tracked fixtures in the 2026 USL Championship season. That equates to roughly 1.41 goals per team per game - a baseline figure used by StatsBrain to calibrate expected-goals output for every fixture in the division. Corner frequency averages 10.47 per game, reflecting the typical territorial and set-piece volume in this league.

Home teams average 1.41 goals per game in USL Championship compared with 1.41 for away sides - indicating broadly balanced scoring returns, suggesting venue has a limited effect on goal output in this sample. This home/away split is incorporated into StatsBrain's pre-match simulation engine for every USL Championship fixture.

The relegation battle is tight: Brooklyn FC begin the danger zone in 23rd with 12 points, just 2 points behind Birmingham Legion in safety. Sporting JAX prop up the table with 7 points and a 21:42 goal record after 16 matches.

Charleston Battery carry the strongest recent form in USL Championship with 3 wins in their last 5 league games (sequence: D-W-W-W-L). Short-term form sequences like this are weighted heavily in StatsBrain's fixture probability distributions. Conversely, Birmingham Legion (L-D-D-L-D in last 5) sit among the division's coldest teams over the same window.
