How it turned out

We projected about 3.6 goals; the game finished with 5. Both teams scored.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 2.3 goals from San Diego FC and 1.3 from San Jose Earthquakes, so San Diego FC come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.6 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

San Jose Earthquakes come into this on two straight draws. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Under 4.5 goals. This one is tight against the line: we make it around 3.7 goals (xG 2.4-1.3) and it takes five to beat us, keeping it under more often than not (about 81%). A close call rather than a comfortable one.

We put the chance of that landing at about 79 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.41, which works out at about 71 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.
