Chinland vs Yangon United: match statistics

Yangon United sit in 2nd place and have won all of their last 5 matches, scoring 15 goals and conceding just 2 during that run. Chinland lost their only league match so far 1:2, while at home they concede an average of 2 goals per game and have yet to keep a clean sheet. The hosts are capable of creating chances, as shown by their average xG of 1.57 and 4 shots on target per match, but their defence allows opponents opportunities worth as much as 2.18 xG. The visitors opened their league campaign with a 2:0 victory, so the combination of their excellent run, attacking efficiency and solid defence clearly points towards a Yangon United win.

The BTTS - No pick is not primarily based on Yangon United’s highly solid defence: over their last 5 matches, the team conceded just 0.4 goals per game, while Chinland managed only 0.57 xG during that period. Although the hosts averaged 1.0 goal and recorded BTTS in 100% of their last five appearances, their most recent defeat and the low quality of chances created limit their chances of scoring. Yangon United are on an excellent run of 5 victories and have recently averaged 3.0 goals with an xG of 1.99, making them clear favourites to find the net. However, the visitors recorded BTTS in only 20% of their last five matches, suggesting that their strong results have often been built on keeping a clean sheet. Therefore, the more likely scenario is that at least one team will fail to score, meaning BTTS - No, although the advantage is not decisive.
