Match description
I back the home win (1): SJ Earthquakes average 2.33 goals per home match with an average xG of 2.14, while FC Dallas on the road average 1.75 goals per match and xG 1.59. The hosts create markedly more chances — 20.17 average shots and 7.83 shots on target per match versus Dallas’s 13.5 and 6.25 — which translates to 29 goals this season (vs 25) and 11 goals in the last 5 matches (vs 8). Defensively SJ looks stronger on the season: conceding 0.5 goals on average at home with xG against 0.92, whereas Dallas concedes 0.75 away with xG against 1.24; however, note the hosts have conceded 9 goals in the last 5 matches, indicating a temporary weakening in their back line. Form in the last 5 matches also favors Earthquakes (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss and 11 goals scored) over Dallas (2 wins, 3 losses and 8 goals), and the lower percentage of goalless matches for the hosts (17% vs 25%) increases their likelihood of scoring. Considering the advantage in xG, shots and average goals for the hosts, I estimate SJ’s probability of victory at about 62%, draw 20% and Dallas win 18%.
