Recommended bet: none on this match

We weighed 7 priced outcomes on this match and none of them cleared the bar we set. Most matches end here, and a page that found a bet in every fixture would not be worth reading.

Our forecast makes San Diego the most likely of the three results, at 39% (we would not be surprised by anything from 30% to 51%). Most likely is not likely: at 39% this result does not happen 61% of the time. We disagree with the market, which makes Orlando City SC the most likely result instead, and prices ours at 33%.

On goals we are saying nothing today: this market did not pass our own calibration checks, and a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number.

For comparison, the market gives Orlando City SC a 43% chance. Our model makes it 38%.

How the devigged price moved before kick-off

Solid: the market over 3 captures. Dashed: our forecast, which does not move. Scaled 0–100%, so a line that looks flat is a price that barely moved rather than one we stopped watching.

Gap is our probability minus the market's. A large one means we disagree with the price, not that we are right — whether we have been is published per market on the accuracy page. A market with no price is one we hold no odds for yet.
