Match description

Charlotte Independence have a clear home advantage — they have won 100% of home matches, average 2.5 goals per game and concede 0.0 on average, while Forward Madison score 1.33 goals away and concede 1.17. In the last 5 matches the hosts have scored 9 goals and average 2.2 points per game (form: W D W W D), whereas the visitors have scored 7 goals and average only 0.8 points per game in their last 5 (form: D L W L L), which clearly indicates superior form for Charlotte. In terms of chance quality, Charlotte average 17 shots and 7 on target at home with xG 1.94, while Forward away average 10.17 shots and 3.5 on target with xG 1.26, suggesting a higher quantity and quality of opportunities for the hosts. Defensively the hosts have 100% clean sheets at home with average xG against 1.18 (i.e. they concede fewer goals than xG suggests), whereas the visitors have conceded 10 goals in their last 5 matches and record only 17% clean sheets on the road. Considering the advantage in chance creation and conversion and the form differential (2.2 vs 0.8 points in the last 5), I tip a home win.
