St Louis Battlehawks Form

St Louis head to Birmingham on a red-hot run of form, having won each of their last five games to reach 5-1.

The Battlehawks came up short in their season-opener, losing 18-16 in Michigan following a monster late field goal from the Panthers.

They bounced back a week later though, beating Arlington 27-24 thanks to a late field goal of their own, and they have not looked back since.

St Louis ran out 31-24 winners in San Antonio, before returning home to down Memphis 32-17 in front of a big crowd at the Dome.

The Battlehawks then blew out former XFL rivals, the DC Defenders, 45-12 on the road, and last weekend they took their streak to five games with a 22-8 home win over Houston.

Birmingham Stallions Form

Back-to-back USFL champions Birmingham remain the only unbeaten team in the UFL, having won all six of their games so far.

The Stallions opened their season with a 27-14 win in Arlington in what was a battle between the two 2023 spring football champions.

They backed that up a week later with a 20-13 victory at Michigan, before downing Memphis 33-14 in their home opener.

Birmingham needed some late heroics a week later as they snatched a 20-18 win at home to the DC Defenders, but it has been smooth sailing since then.

The Stallions went back out on the road and followed up a 32-9 win in Houston with a 39-21 victory at Memphis.

Verdict

Birmingham have been the cream of the crop so far, but it is tough to ignore St Louis.

The Battlehawks are in fine form and that offense is firing on all cylinders, so give us the visitors and the points.
