    • Vancouver's 4-3-3 becomes a 3-2-5; its aggressive fullback press leaves transition space behind.
    • San Diego's Varas system uses a 4-3-3, 537.9 passes/90 and 87.3% accuracy to bypass pressure.
    • Both projected XIs are last-game lineups, not confirmed; tactical roles can change before kickoff.
    Soccer Default Picks
    • San Diego's rolling xG-for rate is 1.98 versus Vancouver's 1.59, and San Diego leads the model's away-win probability despite the market's heavy home favoritism.
    • Official XIs are not confirmed; the lineup surface is only last-game projection roughly 46 minutes before kickoff.

    • MLS first-half share measured at 35.0%: 42 first-half goals of 115 across 40 recent fixtures.
    • Full-match ladder fits to 3.69 goals; the measured split reconciles 1H mean to 1.29.
    • The clean 1H ladder fits to 1.70 goals; Over 1.5 is 50.5%, versus about 37.0% reconciled. Incoherence: 0.41 goals / 13.5 points.
    • The 40-fixture split sample can move; 35.0% is not a league constant.

    Why it likes it
    • Projection: blended xG gives Vancouver 76.6% and San Diego 80.8% to score; BTTS-YES ≈61.9%.
    • Symmetric BTTS case: both sides carry strong scoring chances; this is not a one-weak-attacker defense setup.
    • xG coverage is adequate but not deep: Vancouver has 10 and San Diego 9 xG matches.

    Snapp Decision of the DayDown 8% last 7 days
    Why it likes it
    • Model lambdas total 3.23 imply approximately 59% for 3 or fewer goals.
    • Warehouse model prices over 2.5 at 62.7%, leaving substantial mass on exactly three goals rather than four-plus.
    • Kalshi offers the under contract at 46¢, below my 59% estimate.
    • Vancouver is 16-8-7 with 55 points; San Diego is 8-12-11 with 35, making the model's broader upset lean suspect.

    Why it likes it
    • Warehouse Dixon-Coles model makes San Diego the winner 48.4%, despite the market's strong Vancouver bias.
    • Opponent-adjusted xG favors San Diego 1.82 for versus Vancouver's 1.39; Vancouver's adjusted xGA is 1.38.
    • Vancouver has four listed absences, including Thomas Müller and Kenji Cabrera; San Diego has points in three straight.
    • Both projected XIs are still expected, not confirmed; the warehouse's roster-change and lineup feeds conflict on some player statuses.
