Houston Dynamo FC vs Vancouver Whitecaps

Bawler runs a Poisson model on rolling xG, normalised across leagues, adjusted for venue and injuries. This page shows the full chain — every number you can see is one we used.

Why the model calls it this way

Vancouver's 1.72 xG advantage and 50% win probability make Away Win the model's best value despite the X2 banker, though BTTS Yes at 54% captures the low-scoring, competitive nature efficiently.
