San Diego have taken 7 points from their last five; Philadelphia Union are unbeaten in their last five. The visitors bring the sharper form into this MLS tie.
M. Ingvartsen has been San Diego's spearhead, with 11 goals and 3 assists in 21 appearances, averaging 0.90 shots on target per game. M. Iloski has been Philadelphia Union's main threat, with 10 goals and 2 assists in 21 appearances, averaging 1.33 shots on target per game.
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.
San Diego create chances worth 1.8 a game (and give up chances worth 1.4), leaving them +0.5 a game on the balance. Philadelphia Union create 1.7 (giving up 1.4) for a balance of +0.3. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. A worry for San Diego: the chances they're creating lately are worth 1.5 a game, well below their 1.8 season figure. The attacking output has dipped.
San Diego average 1.8 goals per game and Philadelphia Union manage 1.7. Combined that's just 3.5. 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. San Diego and Philadelphia Union together create chances worth 3.5 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
San Diego are all-out attack: 1.8 goals a game, but they leak 1.7 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Philadelphia Union, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at.
