WEEK AHEAD PREVIEW
Sat Nov 30 thru Fri Dec 6
Two games to wrap up the Fall UPSL season.
FC Birmingham 2 will be on the road against Limeno Georgia Sun Dec 1 at 2:00. FCB 2 is locked into 7th place, and the results here won't change that. Limeno is in 4th place in the table, and a win here, combined with an FC Columbus Elite loss would propel them into 2nd place. Limeno should pick up three points here.
The other Lower Alabama game of the week is the second part of a double-header. FC Columbus Elite travels to take on Limeno Georgia II Sun Dec 1 at 4:00. So, they'll be present for the FCB2/Limeno game, just before them on the same field. Limeno 2 is at the bottom of the table with no wins for the season, but have had a few draws. Elite is playing for the chance to be tied for the top spot in the table, and should be highly motivated. If the first tie-breaker is head-to-head, then Elite should claim the Fall regular season title.

Contracts in USL go through the end of November, so the upcoming week should see all teams announcing their roster status, if they haven't already. I'll post updates on key former Legion players, as well as a rundown of Legion itself.
