What to expect
We expect about 2.0 goals from Los Angeles FC and 1.1 from San Diego FC, so Los Angeles FC come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.1 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
San Diego FC come into this on two straight wins. 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 3.1 goals in total (xG 2.0-1.1), 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 81 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.30, which works out at about 77 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.

One thing to watch
It only takes one early goal to change how both sides play, and a low total can unravel in a single quick spell.
