San Antonio averaged 1.4 goals over the same period and generated a high xG of 1.73, providing a solid basis for exploiting Louisville’s recently weaker defence.

The hosts also create more chances, as reflected by their xG of 1.64 versus 1.21 and an average of 5.0 shots on target compared with the visitors’ 3.33. San Antonio have recently been difficult to break down before half-time, having not conceded in the opening 45 minutes in their last five matches, which increases the likelihood of a cautious start and a level score at the break. After the interval, Louisville City’s greater attacking quality and their season-long win rate of 56%, compared with the visitors’ 33%, should tip the balance in the hosts’ favour.
