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.
Austin create chances worth 1.1 a game (and give up chances worth 1.9), leaving them -0.8 a game on the balance. FC Dallas create 1.4 (giving up 1.8) for a balance of -0.4. On the quality of chances, FC Dallas look the stronger side. they create more and give up less.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Austin are scoring 1.3 a game (1.3 of those at home) and FC Dallas manage 1.5 (1.5 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 62%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 57%. A word of caution on the chances: even though the goals numbers point up, the combined chance quality is only worth 2.4 a game. These sides aren't creating as much as their goal tallies suggest. Hot finishing has flattered the numbers.
Both sides are in the chasing pack. Austin (6th) and FC Dallas (7th) are still in touch with the playoff places, and a result here matters.
