Our model expects 1.79 goals for Atlanta Utd and 1.55 for FC Cincinnati (3.34 in total), an open game that still stays under 4 goals, the point where Under 3.5 loses. Our probability is 60.0% against 53.5% implied by the price, an edge of +6.5 pts. Some data cuts against this line: 70% of Atlanta Utd's last 10 matches and 80% of FC Cincinnati's went over 2.5 goals, and FC Cincinnati concedes 3.0 per game over its last 5. Recent xG created, at 3.08 for the two attacks added together, sits below this line.
