Archived pre-match analysis

This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

I predict a win for the home side (Monterey Bay) based on a clear uptick in form over the last five matches: Monterey have scored 9 goals and recorded 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss (PPG 2), while El Paso in the same period have scored 6 goals and had 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses (PPG 1). Season-long figures still favor the visitors — El Paso have 23 goals this season versus Monterey's 13, and away they score on average 2.17 goals per game with a conversion rate of 19% compared to 1.29 and 12% for the hosts; visitors average 11.17 shots (4.33 on target) per away game, Monterey 10.71 (4.0 on target) at home. In terms of xG, both teams show similar attacking expected chances (xG For 1.33), but defensively Monterey look more stable at their stadium — the hosts have average xG against 1.19 and concede 1.14 goals per game, whereas El Paso away have a higher xG against 1.75 despite officially conceding 1.00 goal per away match. Additionally, El Paso have never had a goalless away game (FTS 0%), and Monterey have failed to score in 43% of home matches, however the hosts' last 5 games have yielded 9 goals scored and only 5 conceded, indicating improved finishing and defensive solidity. On that basis I give Monterey a slight edge, expecting a tight but home-advantage match.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Statistics strongly support BTTS - Yes: Monterey Bay has a season BTTS rate of 100% and 60% in the last 5 matches, while El Paso has 67% seasonally and 80% in the last 5. Monterey Bay concedes an average of 2.67 goals per game this season (22 conceded) and has 0% clean sheets, whereas El Paso concedes 1.0 goal seasonally (22 conceded) but in the last 5 matches conceded an average of 1.6 goals with xG against 1.81, indicating defensive vulnerability. Offensively El Paso scores 2.17 goals per game this season (23 scored) with xG 1.33, and Monterey averages 1.67 goals with xG 1.44; both teams generate chances numerically (average shots 12.67 and 11.17, shots on target 4.67 and 4.33). Additionally, both teams have a high share of matches over 2.5 goals (83% seasonally), and the league averages 2.74 goals per game, which increases the likelihood of goal exchanges. Based on this, I recommend BTTS = Yes (80%) vs 20% for No, because the aggregate signals (100% vs 67% season BTTS, last5 60% vs 80%, high number of goals conceded and low clean sheet rate) strongly favor both teams scoring.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Season statistics point to high-scoring matches: Monterey averages 1.67 goals scored and concedes 2.67 per game, while El Paso averages 2.17 scored and concedes 1.00. Both teams have 100% of matches over 1.5 goals this season; Monterey has goals in both halves in 100% of matches, El Paso in 67%. Based on xG: (1.44+1.75)/2=1.60 expected goals for Monterey and (1.33+1.38)/2=1.36 for El Paso, the combined projection is 2.96 goals, which strongly supports Over 1.5 and also favors Over 2.5. The seasonal percentage of matches over 2.5 is 83% for both teams, although in the last 5 matches this rate dropped to 40%, therefore I estimate Over 2.5 at 78% probability. Over 3.5 is less certain: Monterey has 83% of season matches over 3.5, El Paso only 33%, and the projected 2.96 goals is below 3.5, so I rate Over 3.5 at 45%; the strongest signal is Over 1.5.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

El Paso led at half-time in 4 matches (67%) versus just 1 match for Monterey (17%), and the average first-half goals are 1.5 for the visitors vs 0.67 for the hosts — a strong signal for an El Paso lead after 45 minutes. The visitors win 50% of matches this season compared to Monterey’s 17%, and El Paso scores an average of 2.17 goals per game while Monterey concedes 2.67 on average, which favors an away Full-Time victory. Monterey at home records 100% of games with both teams scoring, and xG is similar: 1.44 for Monterey vs 1.33 for El Paso, so the hosts have the potential to score even if trailing at the break. Considering El Paso’s 13 points gained in halves versus Monterey’s 5 points and the visitors’ dominance in half-time statistics, the most secure HT/FT appears to be 2/2, with a lower probability of a draw or a Monterey turnaround.
