Minnesota United v Orlando City prediction

What to expect

We expect about 1.8 goals from Minnesota United and 1.3 from Orlando City, so Minnesota United come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 3.1 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.8-1.3), and we make both teams to score about 58%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 57 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.51, which works out at about 66 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Minnesota United have not won any of their last five.
Orlando City have won two of their last five.
Four of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
Both teams scored in five of the last five meetings.

One thing to watch

One well-drilled defence, or a game that turns one-sided, and this is gone. The price is shorter than our own read of about 57%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
