FC Birmingham vs Scenic City SC; Sunday, November 2 at 4:30 CT. These two teams played to a 2-2 draw in the first game of the Fall season. Scenic City is undefeated over their last three games, and are middle of the table with games in hand. FCB hasn't won a game yet, but has been very competitive, with three draws. Expect another tight match here.
FC Columbus Elite vs Georgia Impact; Saturday, November 1 at 6:00 ET. Impact got a 4-0 win over Colgaelite on October 12, which was their best performance for the Fall (by far). Elite has been inconsistent, but has a chance to take three points here.
UMA 2 is off this week.
Atlanta City FC vs Columbus Knight Eagles; Sunday, November 2 at 4:00 ET. The Eagles find themselves in better form, having won two in a row, and will be looking to extend that streak and continue to climb higher in the table. Atlanta City is headed the other direction, having lost three in a row, although all three games were against the top teams in the table. This should be a close game that could go either way.
