How it turned out
We projected about 3.4 goals; the game finished with 2. Both teams scored. We made Under 4.5 goals 79%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.0 goals from FC Cincinnati and 1.4 from Seattle Sounders, so FC Cincinnati come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.4 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Seattle Sounders come into this on five straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Under 4.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 3.4 goals in total (xG 2.0-1.4), keeping it under more often than not (about 81%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 79 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.39, which works out at about 72 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.
