New England Revolution vs Houston Dynamo: Both teams to score - Yes
New England's 2.1 xG at home meets Houston's 1.6 away xG, setting up a goal‑rich clash. The model sees a 70% chance both sides will find the net, far above a typical BTTS market.
Both clubs arrive with contrasting recent runs – the Revolution have been inconsistent at home, while Dynamo have hit a scoring streak on the road. The draw odds sit at 3.85, implying a 26% probability, well below the model’s 49.4% win chance for New England.
Jonesy's Verdict
Back the BTTS market; the model’s 70% probability comfortably exceeds standard market pricing.
Show the maths
With New England Revolution averaging 2.1 expected goals and Houston Dynamo averaging 1.6, the model gives a 70.0% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 30.0% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 3.7 (New England Revolution 2.1 + Houston Dynamo 1.6) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 71.4% chance against 28.6% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has New England Revolution at 49.4%, the draw at 21.0%, and Houston Dynamo at 29.6% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 2-1 at 8.7% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
