General match analysis
San Jose Earthquakes II have clearly stronger home numbers: they average 2.33 goals per match, while St. Louis City II average just 1.18 away from home. The hosts have won 56% of their home fixtures and boast a positive goal difference of +14, whereas the visitors have won only 27% of their away matches, with a -6 goal difference. The defensive gap is equally significant: San Jose concede an average of 0.78 goals at home, compared with 1.73 for St. Louis, although both teams’ xG figures in this split are relatively similar at 1.64 and 1.47, respectively. The hosts’ current form is a concern, however, as they have failed to win any of their last five matches and scored just 2 goals during that run, while the visitors have netted 6. Despite the poor recent trend, home advantage, greater consistency in creating shots on target (5.78 versus 4.36), and a significantly tighter defence give San Jose a slight edge.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Seasonal indicators point towards goals from both sides, with BTTS occurring in 55% of San Jose matches and 64% of St. Louis fixtures, compared with a league average of 61%. However, the strongest signal against this scenario is the hosts’ current form: they have scored just 2 goals in their last five matches, averaging 0.4 per game, while BTTS appeared in only 40% of those outings. St. Louis are not particularly defensively solid, conceding 1.73 goals per match across the season, yet the hosts have failed to score in 9% of all games this season, and their recent lack of finishing further increases the risk of another goalless match. The visitors have an xG of 1.47 for the season and 1.74 across their last five matches, so they should create chances themselves, but San Jose keeping a clean sheet in 36% of matches also supports the BTTS - No outcome, meaning that at least one team fails to score.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
San Jose average 1.91 goals per game this season, while St. Louis concede 1.73 away from home, creating favorable conditions for the hosts to score. The home side also generate 1.91 xG and 6.55 shots on target per match, clearly more than the visitors’ 1.47 xG and 4.36 shots on target. The 1.5 line has been covered in 100% of San Jose matches and 82% of St. Louis games, while the league-wide average stands at a high 3.24 goals. Caution at higher lines is warranted due to San Jose’s recent run, during which the team scored just 2 goals in 5 matches despite averaging 1.84 xG per game. The 2.75-goal projection offers the strongest edge on Over 1.5, while Over 2.5 remains only moderately likely.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a St. Louis City II win at full-time, as both teams were level after 45 minutes in 80% of their last five matches. San Jose failed to score before the break during this period and are averaging just 0.4 goals per match, while conceding 1.4. The hosts have better full-season numbers, averaging 1.91 goals and an xG of 1.91 compared with the visitors’ 1.18 goals, but their current form includes 0 wins and 3 defeats in five matches. After the break, St. Louis have recently averaged 1.0 goal, while San Jose concede as many as 1.2 in this period, increasing the visitors’ chances of turning a closely contested match in their favour. Additionally, San Jose have failed to score before half-time in 5 of their last 5 appearances, so the half-time draw scenario is clearly supported by the data.
