Three points on the line and a story to write. Austin host Philadelphia Union.
Austin welcome Philadelphia Union in the MLS. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Austin will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Philadelphia Union travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Philadelphia Union have been outstanding on the road recently. Their away form is significantly better than their season average.
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. Philadelphia Union create 1.6 (giving up 1.5) for a balance of +0.1. On the quality of chances, Philadelphia Union look the stronger side. they create more and give up less.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Austin average 1.3 goals per game and Philadelphia Union manage 1.7. Combined that's just 3.0. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
