How it turned out
We projected about 3.2 goals and the game finished with 3. Both teams scored. We made Under 4.5 goals 72%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.4 goals from Vancouver Whitecaps and 0.8 from Austin FC, so Vancouver Whitecaps come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.2 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Austin FC 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. We make this around 3.2 goals (xG 2.4-0.8), so the line leaves room: it takes five or more to beat us, keeping it under more often than not (about 74%).
We put the chance of that landing at about 72 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.33, which works out at about 75 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
Recent results
Vancouver Whitecaps have won three of the last five meetings, with two drawn.
