● We back under 3.5 goals @ 1.72 (model probability 67.9%, implied probability 58.1%, edge +9.8 pts)

● Our lean: home draw no bet @ 2.16 (model probability 60.6%, implied probability 46.3%, edge +14.3 pts)
● Our model leans to over 2.5 goals @ 1.50 (model probability 62.6%, verified probability, implied probability 66.7%, edge -4.1 pts: the price does not pay this scenario)
● Our model leans to both teams to score: yes @ 1.40 (model probability 63.4%, verified probability, implied probability 71.4%, edge -8.0 pts: the price does not pay this scenario)
● Our model leans to over 1.5 goals @ 1.16 (model probability 81.4%, implied probability 86.2%, edge -4.8 pts: the price does not pay this scenario)

GAME CONTEXT

Sporting Kansas City scores 2.4 goals per game over its last 5 matches. Sporting Kansas City concedes 2.0 per game and has 7 points from 15. Real Salt Lake scores 0.8 goals per game over its last 5 matches. Real Salt Lake concedes 1.8 per game and has 3 points from 15.

TOTALS ANALYSIS (Over/Under)

Under 3.5 goals: we back under 3.5 goals @ 1.72. Our probability of 67.9% compares with 58.1% for the price: an edge of +9.8 pts. Our model expects 1.79 goals from Sporting Kansas City and 1.43 from Real Salt Lake, 3.21 in total, below the line: an Under 3.5 loses at 4 goals. Recent xG created, 2.90 for the two attacks combined, stays under the line. Some data cuts against it: Sporting Kansas City and Real Salt Lake each went over 2.5 goals in 70% of their last 10 matches.

Over 2.5 goals: our model leans to over 2.5 goals @ 1.50 (62.6%, verified probability, against 66.7%). The price does not pay this scenario. Over 2.5 and Under 3.5 win together only on exactly 3 goals, a narrow outcome.

Over 1.5 goals: our model leans to over 1.5 goals @ 1.16 (81.4% against 86.2%). The price does not pay this scenario.

1X2 ANALYSIS (Match Result)

Home win: our lean is Sporting Kansas City @ 2.90. A value read: our probability stays a minority one (44.3%), but the price overpays this scenario; this is a read, not a recommended bet. It compares with 34.5% for the price, an edge of +9.8 pts. The market sees Real Salt Lake as favorite; our model puts Sporting Kansas City ahead, with 27.0% for the draw. The xG gap (+1.02 for Sporting Kansas City) points the same way.

Home draw no bet: our lean is Sporting Kansas City @ 2.16 (60.6% against 46.3%, edge +14.3 pts). The stake is refunded on a draw and lost on a defeat.

Double chance 12 (no draw): our model leans to this line @ 1.27 (73.0% against 78.7%). It covers two outcomes out of three. The price does not pay this scenario.

OTHER MARKETS

Both teams to score: yes: our model leans to this line @ 1.40 (63.4%, verified probability, against 71.4%). The price does not pay this scenario. Real Salt Lake failed to score in 40% of its last 10 matches, which cuts against the line.

Devil's advocate

The scenario that loses the Under 3.5 is an open game of 4 goals or more: Sporting Kansas City scores 2.4 goals per game over its last 5 matches, and each club went over 2.5 goals in 70% of its last 10 matches. We accept this risk, because Real Salt Lake scores 0.8 goals per game over its last 5 matches.

ProbWin verdict

We back under 3.5 goals @ 1.72. Our lean goes to a Sporting Kansas City win and to its draw no bet, with no firm bet; the other lines are not retained.
