    Why it likes it
    • Own fair total is 3.35 goals: (1.77+1.33)/2 plus (1.80+1.80)/2, using 10 xG games each.
    • Opp-adjusted feature blend is 3.16; 20/19-game team macro cross-check is 3.27, supporting a lower-than-market goal expectation.
    • own under-3.5 probability is 55%; four rest days each and mixed pressing tilt are directionally coherent.
    • Only 10 xG matches per side in the primary feature window; MLS variance makes the estimate noisy.
