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 an away win (El Paso) because they average 2.75 goals on the road with xG 1.62, while Oakland score 1.75 at home with xG 1.32. El Paso concede only 0.75 goals away and have a 50% clean sheet rate, whereas Oakland concede 1.25 at home and have 0% clean sheets. The visitors attempt more shots (13.5 vs 10.25) and more on target (5.75 vs 5) with a higher conversion rate of 20% versus the hosts’ 17%, indicating higher-quality chances. Oakland have, however, scored 10 and conceded 8 in their last 5 (1.4 points per game), while El Paso have 8 scored and 14 conceded (0.8 pts/game), suggesting short-term instability. Considering season-long indicators (El Paso away win rate 75% and +8 goal difference versus Oakland home win rate 50% and +2 difference) and the visitors’ recent fluctuations, I assign probabilities: El Paso 55%, draw 25%, Oakland 20%.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

I back BTTS - Yes, because Oakland has a seasonal BTTS rate of 100% and 100% in the last 5 matches, while El Paso, despite a seasonal 50%, has 100% BTTS in their last 5 games. Oakland concedes an average of 2.75 goals per game this season, and El Paso scores an average of 2.75, creating a strong offensive matchup; in the last 5 matches El Paso conceded 14 goals (avg 2.8), and Oakland scored 10 goals (avg 2.0). This is supported by xG and shot metrics: xG for the home side 1.7 vs 1.62 for the visitors, xG against 1.23 vs 1.54, average shots 14.5 and 13.5 and shots on target 6.0 and 5.75, indicating realistic scoring potential for both sides. Additionally both teams have 100% of matches over 2.5 goals this season, and the hosts have no clean sheets (0%), which reduces the likelihood of No Goal. For these reasons I rate Yes as the more probable outcome.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

I back Over 2.5; expected goals approx. 1.62 for Oakland and 1.43 for El Paso, totaling 3.05 goals per game. Combined xG (1.7 + 1.62 = 3.32) and comparison of offensive xG vs xG_against (Oakland xG_against 1.23, El Paso xG_against 1.54) produce model averages of 1.62 and 1.43, which point to more than 2 goals. Season-long metrics show a strong goal bias: both teams have seasonOver25Percentage = 100%, and in the last 5 matches El Paso has 100% over2.5 while Oakland has 60%, further supporting the likelihood of >2.5. Additionally, Oakland has 100% BTTS for the season and 100% in the last 5, El Paso 50% for the season but 100% in the last 5; shots on target averages 6.0 vs 5.75 and conversion rates of 14%/20% indicate tangible goal threat. Therefore I assess Over 1.5 at 88%, Over 2.5 at 80% and Over 3.5 at 44% and I am playing Over 2.5.

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

El Paso are clear favorites: they have a 75% win rate this season and average 2.5 points per match versus Oakland’s 25% and 1.0 point, indicating higher efficiency from the away side. The visitors led at the break in 3 of 4 matches (75%) and score on average 1.75 goals by half-time compared to the hosts’ 1.0; meanwhile the hosts concede on average 2.75 goals per match while El Paso concedes only 0.75, which favors the visitors taking and maintaining a lead. xG figures are similar (1.62 for El Paso vs 1.7 for Oakland), but the visitors’ shot conversion rate is 20% versus the hosts’ 14%, so comparable xG translates into more actual goals for El Paso. On this basis the strongest signal is the visitors leading at half-time and winning after 90 minutes (2/2), hence the greatest weight in the forecast distribution.
