The travelling New York Red Bulls fans arrive with a spring in their step, and rightly so. recent form reads D-L-L-W-L-L. That D-L-L-W-L-L away form is genuinely impressive. Seattle Sounders have been wobbling (L-L-L-L-L) 5 losses in a row. But home crowds have a way of dragging a side through, and Seattle Sounders will fancy that their own supporters can be the difference when it matters. Interestingly, Seattle Sounders have been poor at home recently while New York Red Bulls travel well. the visitors' away form is superior to the hosts' home record. A concern for New York Red Bulls: they're giving up chances worth 2.0 a game over their last 5 (vs 1.6 for the season). The defence is creaking.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Seattle Sounders create chances worth 2.0 a game (and give up chances worth 1.1), leaving them +0.8 a game on the balance. New York Red Bulls create 1.2 (giving up 1.6) for a balance of -0.4. The underlying numbers clearly favour Seattle Sounders. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones. New York Red Bulls's defence is giving up chances. Worth 2.0 a game over their last 5 vs 1.6 for the season. They're becoming easier to break down.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Seattle Sounders are scoring 1.8 a game (2.3 of those at home) and New York Red Bulls manage 1.4 (0.7 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 67%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. There's a good chance both teams find the net, and we make it 69%. Seattle Sounders score in 78% of their games and New York Red Bulls in 74%, and neither back line is tight enough to bank on a clean sheet.
Seattle Sounders are all-out attack: 1.8 goals a game, but they leak 1.5 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at New York Red Bulls, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at.
