Detroit vs Rhode Island Prediction & Betting Tips (3 August)

It would be fair to say that Detroit have been struggling on their own patch of late, with eight of their previous ten USL Championship fixtures ending in defeat, and they are currently on a run of four games without a goal as well. Rhode Island had not been in great form on the road themselves prior their next match, but they had still only lost once in seven.

Over 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in 13 of the last 16 Rhode Island away matches in the USL Championship, as well as in each of their previous seven games at this level overall. Given that 13 of the last 16 Detroit home fixtures in the top-flight have followed suit, a sixth consecutive meeting between the sides containing over 2.5 goals appears likely.

Prior to facing Napoli and Udinese in the USL Championship, Detroit had been on a run in which they had both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes in 13 consecutive games. Ahead of their matches, Rhode Island were not far off that sort of pace either, as the net had bulged at both ends in 13 of their previous 16 games at this elite level.
