What to expect

We expect about 1.9 goals from San Diego FC and 1.2 from Colorado Rapids, so San Diego 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: San Diego FC to win. San Diego FC are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 1.9-1.2), and we make them about 57% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 57 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.97, which works out at about 51 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.

What the numbers say
San Diego FC have won three of their last five.
Colorado Rapids have won two of their last five.
Two of the last three meetings finished under 2.5 goals.
Both teams scored in one of the last three meetings.

One thing to watch

Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Colorado Rapids a draw or better. Even on our own read it's closer to a coin-flip than a sure thing — about 57%.
