Match description
I back the home win (1). NY Cosmos create better chances at home: on average 13.17 shots and 4.83 on target per match versus 11 shots and 3.29 on target for the visitors away. The quality differential is confirmed by xG 1.62 for Cosmos vs 1.29 for Naples, and the hosts average 1.5 goals at home versus 1.0 for the visitors away; additionally Cosmos have a lower share of goalless matches (FTS 17% vs 29%). Both teams are, however, in poor defensive form — each conceded 15 goals in the last 5 matches and recorded 0 points in that period — which increases the likelihood of an open game (average goals in home matches 3.5 vs 2.71 in away matches). Considering 33% home win rate at home versus 14% away wins for visitors and the advantage in shots and xG, I assign Cosmos 60%, draw 20% and Naples win 20%.
