It's all UPSL this week
Columbus Elite looks to build consistency; Calera has their home opener
Apologies for the brief nature of this week's look ahead. I'm on vacation, and haven't had time to dive in.
Birmingham Legion FC
Birmingham is off (again) this week, and it's fortunate that they are. Ramiz Hamouda and Phanuel Kavita are away for international duties. Patterson has been out this week nursing a sore back, and Washington took a hard hit to the head against Charleston. A game this week might have meant that Legion wouldn't have had any center backs available, unless they had held back Hamouda and Kavita.
Huntsville City FC
Huntsville is also on a break, but they won't be back in action until April 11th.
UPSL Premier
FC Birmingham is headed to face Potros on Saturday, March 28 at 3:00. Bham needs points, and Potros is off the a slower start than usual, with two draws in their first two games.

FC Columbus Elite brings in LSA Norcross for the second part of a double-header at Odis Spencer Stadium. The match will be Saturday March 28 at 6:00 ET. Elite will be expected to come away with three points in this one.
UMA FC is on the road this week against UFA Lawrenceville on Sunday, March 29 at 7:00 ET. Lawrenceville has had a slow start, and this is a game that I would expect UMA to win.
UPSL Division 1

Calera FC has their first home game, facing Lake Country United on Saturday, March 28 at 6:00. Calera came up short in last week's road game against CKE, while Lake Country easily handled Middle Georgia 5-2. This will be another big test for Calera, as they look to get some points at home.
Colgaelite 2 hosts Atlanta City on Saturday, March 28 at 3:00 ET. Elite's strong showing in week 1 leads to me to feel like they should expect three points in this one.
Columbus Knight Eagles are on the road against AFA Academy on Saturday, March 28 at 4:30 ET. This is the kind of game that the Eagles need to win if they're going to push to the top of the table this season.
