A test of nerve as much as quality when Inter Miami welcome Toronto FC.
Inter Miami welcome Toronto FC in the MLS. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Inter Miami will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Toronto FC travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Both sets of fans can dream here: this is two in-form sides on a collision course. Inter Miami come in on a D-W-W-W-W run, Toronto FC have gone D-L-D-D-L, and neither will fear the other. When form meets form like this, something has to give, and whichever way it breaks, it should be a proper occasion. Inter Miami's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf. One thing to keep in mind about Inter Miami. They're scoring 2.5 goals per game but the quality of chances they create only works out at 2.4. Scoring that much more than the chances suggest (+1.2), that kind of hot finishing usually cools off, so their results may be flattering their actual play. A concern for Toronto FC: they're giving up chances worth 1.8 a game over their last 5 (vs 1.4 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.
Inter Miami create chances worth 2.4 a game (and give up chances worth 1.3), leaving them +1.2 a game on the balance. Toronto FC create 1.1 (giving up 1.4) for a balance of -0.4. The underlying numbers clearly favour Inter Miami. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones. Inter Miami are scoring 2.5 goals a game off chances worth just 2.4. That's +1.2 more than the chances suggest: finishing hot. History says this kind of run usually cools off. A worry for Inter Miami: the chances they're creating lately are worth 2.1 a game, well below their 2.4 season figure. The attacking output has dipped. Toronto FC's defence is giving up chances. Worth 1.8 a game over their last 5 vs 1.4 for the season. They're becoming easier to break down.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Inter Miami average 2.5 goals per game and Toronto FC manage 1.1. Combined that's just 3.6. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Inter Miami and Toronto FC together create chances worth 3.5 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Inter Miami are all-out attack: 2.5 goals a game, but they leak 1.5 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Toronto FC, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at.
