Match description
The statistics strongly favor Charlotte: the hosts score an average of 3.0 goals per home match with an average xG of 1.88, whereas Philadelphia averages only 0.5 goals away with an xG of 1.5. Charlotte concedes an average of 0.67 goals at their stadium, while the visitors concede 2.0 goals on the road and have a 100% loss rate in away matches. In the last 5 fixtures Charlotte has scored 10 goals and averaged 1.6 points per game, whereas Philadelphia has scored 3 goals, lost 4 of 5 and averages just 0.2 points per game. The gap in quality of chances is significant: the hosts average 8.67 shots on target and 17 attempts per home match with a conversion rate of 18%, while the visitors manage only 3 shots on target and 13 attempts with a 4% conversion and 50% of away games without a goal. Considering the superiority in finishing (3.0 vs 0.5 goals), the better number of clear-cut chances (8.67 SOT vs 3) and the visitors’ poor form and defense (0.2 PPG and 100% away losses), I tip the hosts to win.
