General match analysis

Oakland Roots have a clear home advantage: they average 1.1 goals scored at home, while Monterey Bay score just 0.8 away from home. The visitors have not won a single away match and have lost 80% of their games on the road. Monterey Bay’s defence concedes an average of 2.1 goals away from home, with an xG against of 1.84, giving the hosts favourable conditions to create several high-quality chances. Oakland generate 1.26 xG and 3.1 shots on target per match at home, clearly more than Monterey Bay’s 1.06 xG and 1.9 shots on target away from home. Both teams are in poor current form, with Oakland picking up just 1 point from their last five matches, while Monterey Bay have lost all five and conceded 14 goals during that period. The hosts are also not entirely reliable defensively, but conceding an average of 1.2 goals at home compared with 2.1 for the visitors points to a narrow Oakland victory.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The BTTS - No pick is primarily driven by Oakland Roots’ clear finishing problems: they have scored only 1 goal in their last 5 matches, averaging 0.2 per game, while both teams scored in just 20% of those fixtures. Monterey Bay concede heavily, averaging 2.8 goals over their last five matches, and have an xG against of 1.87, giving the hosts a realistic chance to break their scoring drought. At the same time, the visitors have scored just 0.8 goals per game throughout the season, while Oakland have kept a clean sheet in 30% of their matches, so a Monterey goal is far from certain. The teams’ season-long BTTS rates stand at 50% and 60%, respectively, but the hosts’ very poor current attacking output slightly tips the balance towards a scenario in which at least one team fails to score. BTTS - No means that at least one team does not score; it does not automatically mean a 0:0 draw or that neither team will score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest signal is Over 1.5 goals, as both teams recorded at least 2 goals in 70% of their league matches. Monterey Bay concede an average of 2.1 goals per game, while their average xG against stands at 1.84, which favors the home side despite their very poor recent run, during which they scored only 0.2 goals per game. Oakland, however, average 1.58 xG and record 4.7 shots on target per match, while Monterey Bay keep a clean sheet in just 10% of their games. The visitors have averaged 1.4 goals scored across their last five appearances, but have also conceded 2.8 goals per game, with Over 2.5 goals landing in 80% of those matches. The 2.5 line is close to balanced due to Oakland's inconsistent form, whereas the 1.5 threshold has significantly stronger support in both the season data and the visitors' defensive weakness.

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

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome, as Oakland were level at the break in 60% of their matches, compared with 50% for Monterey; over their last five games, these figures stood at 60% and 80%, respectively. Oakland have been particularly slow starters of late, averaging just 0.2 goals before half-time, while Monterey conceded an average of 1.0 goal during this phase. After the interval, the home side’s advantage should increase: their season-long xG stands at 1.58 versus 1.06 for the visitors, and they also average 4.7 shots on target per match compared with Monterey’s 1.9. The visitors have lost all five of their last matches, conceding an average of 2.8 goals in the process, so the HT/FT scenario of a draw at half-time followed by an Oakland victory at the final whistle is the outcome best supported by the data.
