Birmingham Legion team news

Legion coach Mark Briggs will face his former side for the first time after a five-season tenure in Sacramento.

Returning from an injury, AJ Paterson is likely to join Phanuel Kavita in the back-three that is expected to be completed by Jake Rufe.

Ronaldo Damus was among the scorers last time out and will continue in attack.

Sacramento Republic team news

As the side has allowed just two goals in league play since May, goalkeeper Danny Vitiello will look for another clean sheet, backed by a defensive line that includes Jared Timmer, Freddy Kleemann and Lee Desmond.

Having called for changes in personnel in the final third in recent games, it is to be seen if Sacramento boss Neill Collins opts for a three-man attack after Sebastian Herrera and Cristian Parano led the line against San Antonio.
