One Knoxville vs Spokane Velocity Prediction
Knoxville Look To Seal Title In Style
Preview
Right then, let's have a proper look at this season finale! One Knoxville are sitting pretty at the top of USL League One with 57 points, while Spokane Velocity are in third with 51. It's been a proper season for both, but the form guide tells quite a story.
One Knoxville have been absolutely bossing it recently, haven't they? Eight wins in their last ten games, and get this - they've won EVERY single one of their last seven home games. That's 100% record at their gaff, mate. They're averaging 1.7 goals scored at home while only letting in 0.8. Proper solid stuff. They've beaten some decent sides too, including a 2-0 win over second-placed Chattanooga Red Wolves.
Spokane, on the other hand, have been drawing for fun. Five draws in their last ten games, and they've been leaking goals away from home - two per game on their travels. That 6-1 hammering at Portland Hearts of Pine shows they can be vulnerable when things go wrong. They've only managed two wins in their last ten, which isn't great form going into the final day.
The head-to-head's been pretty tight though - one win for Knoxville and three draws in four meetings. But the last time they played, Knoxville won 1-0, and that was away from home. Now they're back at their fortress where they're unbeaten all season.
You've got to fancy Knoxville here, haven't you? Perfect home record, better form, and they'll want to finish the season on a high. Spokane have been too draw-happy recently and their away defence is dodgy enough for Knoxville to exploit.
