Los Angeles FC

3.35Dafabet · fair 3.00 · qualifies at 3.09+ · 1.25u

Why this price?

Back Los Angeles FC to win at 3.35 with Dafabet.

Our model puts the chance at 39% and the bookmakers' own consensus, margin removed, at 29%; we judge it at 33%, weighting the market more than the model, which is a fair price of 3.00. The offered 3.35 implies only 30%, so the price is 11.7% better than our estimate says it should be. That gap is the edge.

Stake 1.25 units of a 100-unit bank: the size follows the edge (a quarter-Kelly fraction), never more than 2 units.

Projected goals: Seattle Sounders 1.16, Los Angeles FC 1.32.

The edge is an estimate and carries model error; it can be wrong, and a losing run is normal.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.

Los Angeles FC favoured against Seattle Sounders

Our model makes Seattle Sounders 32% to win this Major League Soccer fixture, with the draw at 28% and Los Angeles FC at 39%. The goal projection is 1.16 for Seattle Sounders against 1.32 for Los Angeles FC — a slight edge to Los Angeles FC on expected output. A combined 2.48 goals points to a cagey game with few clear chances, which puts over 2.5 at 45% and both teams to score at 51%. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1 at 13%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. Note that even our favoured side is under 45% to win outright, so this is a fixture where the draw does a lot of work and confident calls are not warranted. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.

Most likely scores: 1-1 13%; 0-1 10%; 1-0 9%; 0-0 9%; 1-2 8%
