Jonesy's Verdict

LIVE
Philadelphia Union vs Atlanta United FC
0 - 0
Value pick
Atlanta United FC DNB Value pick · model edge

Atlanta United FC at 4.8 offers value considering the model gives them a 26.8% chance of winning, higher than the market-implied 20.8%. This, combined with their ability to secure draws and the low-scoring nature of the expected match, makes them a decent pick on the DNB market.

Show the maths
The model calculates Atlanta United FC's winning probability at 26.8%, which is higher than the market-implied probability of 20.8% based on their odds of 4.8. This discrepancy suggests that the market undervalues Atlanta's chances, providing an edge for bettors. The expected goals rates and the recent form of both teams support the notion that Atlanta could get a result in this match.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — No 70.1% model probability

With Philadelphia Union averaging 0.9 expected goals and Atlanta United FC averaging 0.7, the model gives a 70.1% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 29.9% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Philadelphia Union 0.9, Atlanta United FC 0.7) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 29.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 70.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Under 2.5 Goals 78.3% model probability

Combined expected goals of 1.6 (Philadelphia Union 0.9 + Atlanta United FC 0.7) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 78.3% chance against 21.7% for Over.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Philadelphia Union 0.9 + Atlanta United FC 0.7 = 1.6 combined): 21.7% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 78.3% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Philadelphia Union at 38.2%, the draw at 35.1%, and Atlanta United FC at 26.8% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 20.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
