What to expect
We expect about 2.0 goals from San Diego FC and 1.1 from Los Angeles Galaxy, 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.
Our pick: San Diego FC to win. San Diego FC are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.0-1.1), and we make them about 55% 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 55 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.81, which works out at about 55 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

One thing to watch
Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Los Angeles Galaxy a draw or better. We make it about 55% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
