On the night of Monday, September 2, a match from the regular USL Championship season will take place. Tulsa will host Colorado Springs at home. The match will commence at midnight Central European Time. Analysts from Dailysports have prepared a prediction for this game.
Tulsa
A team from the Western Conference of the USL Championship, currently occupying the seventh spot in the table, is in contention for the playoffs. Eight teams advance to the knockout rounds. Tulsa presently has 30 points, which is two points more than the ninth and tenth teams in the conference. Notably, Tulsa failed to reach the playoffs last season; their last playoff appearance was in 2021. This season, in 23 regular matches, the team has scored 25 goals and conceded 32.
This results in a negative goal difference of -7 for Tulsa, though it is not the worst, with six teams having conceded more. However, their current form is somewhat unstable. In their last five matches, Tulsa has won twice, drawn twice, and lost once. In their most recent game, they narrowly defeated Detroit 1-0.
Colorado Springs
Last season, the team finished fifth in the Western Conference and reached the playoffs but did not advance beyond the Round of 16. The highest achievement for Colorado in the USL Championship was a semifinal appearance in the 2022 playoffs. This season, the team is currently fifth in the Western Conference. After 25 matches, Colorado Springs has 35 points, with a seven-point lead over the ninth-placed team.
Colorado Springs has a goal difference of 33:31, making them one of only four teams with a positive goal difference. Their recent form is as inconsistent as Tulsa’s. In their last five matches, Colorado has lost twice, won twice, and drawn once. In their latest match, they confidently defeated Memphis 3-1.
Interesting facts and personal meetings
- The last encounter between these teams ended with a 1-0 victory for Colorado Springs.

Tulsa vs Colorado Springs Prediction
Tulsa has shown strong home results, remaining unbeaten in their last six games and keeping clean sheets in four of them. Conversely, Colorado Springs has struggled on the road, failing to win in seven matches and consistently conceding. My bet is that Tulsa will score at least one goal, with odds of 1.53.
