How it turned out
We projected about 3.3 goals; the game finished with 5. We made Under 4.5 goals 80%. It lost.
What we said beforehand
We expect about 2.1 goals from Vancouver Whitecaps and 1.2 from FC Dallas, so Vancouver Whitecaps come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.3 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
FC Dallas 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: Under 4.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 3.3 goals in total (xG 2.1-1.2), keeping it under more often than not (about 82%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 80 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.33, which works out at about 75 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.
