Match description
I back an away win (Nashville SC): on the road this season they have 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and in the last 5 matches they are 4-1 with 9 goals scored. Home side Philadelphia have only 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses at home, scored 9 and conceded 17, with poor home form (run 'llld'). The gap is most pronounced in defense and efficiency — Nashville concedes 0.4 goals on average away and keep clean sheets in 60% of away games, whereas Philadelphia concede 1.25 at home and have 25% clean sheets. Offensively Philadelphia attempt more shots on average (14.5 vs 10.6) and have higher xG at home (1.69 vs 1.27), but convert that into just 0.5 goals with a 3% conversion rate, while Nashville score 1.0 goal on average away with a 9% conversion and 4.6 shots on target. Considering PPG in the last 5 matches (Nashville 2.4 vs Philadelphia 1.0), superior defense and higher efficiency, I assess the probabilities as: away win 65%, draw 20%, home win 15%.
