What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Toronto FC and 1.4 from New York City, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.7 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

New York City come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Both teams to score. Both of these carry enough of a threat to find the net (xG 1.3-1.4), and we make both teams to score about 59%. Expect goals at either end rather than a one-sided shut-out.

We put the chance of that landing at about 59 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.54, which works out at about 65 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
Toronto FC have won one of their last five.
New York City have won two of their last five.
Three of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
Both teams scored in four of the last five meetings.

One thing to watch

A clean sheet at either end undoes it, and one side shutting up shop is always on the cards. The price is shorter than our own read of about 59%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
