GAME CONTEXT
FC Cincinnati took 5 points from 15 over their last 5 matches. The club scores 1.8 goals per match and concedes 2.8 over that stretch. Columbus Crew took 6 points from 15 over their last 5 matches. The club scores 1.4 goals per match and concedes 1.4.
TOTALS ANALYSIS (Over/Under)
Under 3.5 goals @ 1.94: our lean goes to this line, which loses at 4 goals. Our model expects 1.94 goals from FC Cincinnati and 1.59 from Columbus Crew, a total of 3.52, right next to the line. Most of the data runs against this scenario: 80% of each club's last 10 matches went over 2.5 goals, and recent xG created by the two attacks combined is 3.81, above the line. Those xG diverge from our 56.2% probability: the model probability prevails. Against the 51.5% implied probability, the edge is +4.7 pts and the price pays our estimate.
Over 2.5 goals @ 1.39: our model leans to this line (68.8%, verified probability), but the price does not pay this scenario (implied probability 71.9%, edge -3.1 pts). Over 2.5 and under 3.5 only win together on exactly 3 goals: a narrow outcome, never a central scenario.
Over 1.5 goals @ 1.12: our model leans to this line (84.7%), but the price does not pay this scenario (implied probability 89.3%).
1X2 ANALYSIS (Match Result)
Home win @ 2.22: our model gives FC Cincinnati 43.7%, the draw 26.9% and Columbus Crew 29.4%. The price does not pay this scenario: implied probability 45.0%, edge -1.3 pts.
Home draw no bet @ 1.67: the stake is returned on a draw and lost if Columbus Crew win. Our model leans to this line (59.8%), but the price does not pay this scenario: the 59.9% implied probability is close.
Double chance 12 (no draw) @ 1.25: this line wins if either club takes the match and loses on a draw. Our model leans to it (73.1%), but the price does not pay this scenario (implied probability 80.0%).
OTHER MARKETS
Both teams to score: yes @ 1.35: our model leans to this line (67.6%, verified probability). FC Cincinnati failed to score in 20% of their last 10 matches and Columbus Crew in 10% of theirs. The price does not pay this scenario (implied probability 74.1%, edge -6.5 pts).
FC Cincinnati concede 2.8 goals per match: an open game with 4 goals or more would sink the under 3.5. We accept that risk, because Columbus Crew score 1.4 goals per match.
Our lean goes to under 3.5 goals @ 1.94, a read rather than a firm bet. We pass on the other lines, which the price does not pay.
