BEST ODDS
Our pick: Bookmakers offer average 1.53 (implied 65.4%) for Both Teams to Score. Our experts calculate a 67.9% probability (an expert ratio of 1.47). We chose this bet because our experts rate it more likely than the bookmaker price implies (67.9% vs 65.4%), driven by both attacks scoring freely while both defences look leaky. That edge makes it our most confident selection for this match.

Match Preview

The model favours Toronto FC to win, projecting a scoreline of 2-1 against Charlotte. Despite their current position in 12th place, Toronto FC has shown potential for improvement this season. They have struggled with consistency, recording three wins, eight draws, and seven losses. However, their recent form indicates a slight uptick, with three draws in their last five matches suggesting they are becoming harder to beat. On the other hand, Charlotte sits in a more favorable 7th place and has had a stronger overall season with seven wins, four draws, and seven losses. Their recent form shows a solid performance, with three wins in their last five matches, which highlights their capacity to secure results. With a positive goal difference of +2, they have been effective in both scoring and defending, which could pose a challenge for Toronto. The model gives Toronto a 40% chance of winning, with a 25.5% probability of a draw and a 34.6% chance for Charlotte to win. Additionally, there is a 57.9% likelihood of over 2.5 goals being scored in the match, and 61% for both teams to score. One caveat to consider is Toronto's struggle to convert draws into wins, which could impact their ability to secure the three points. The full method behind this prediction can be found in the "How We Reached This Prediction" section by The Daily Punt Analysis Team, which utilizes an in-house model based on expected goals and actual results across the season.

The head-to-head record between Toronto FC and Charlotte shows Charlotte with 4 wins, Toronto FC with 3 wins, and 1 draw from their last 8 matches.

The Daily Punt Analysis Team

Data-driven football predictions and betting tips

This forecast was built by the The Daily Punt Analysis Team using our in-house statistical model. We feed the model two layers of data for every fixture: each team's recent expected goals (xG and xGA) and their actual goals scored and conceded, split by home and away venue. The numbers run through a Poisson distribution that produces a probability for every possible scoreline, which we then convert into fair odds for the 1X2, correct score, BTTS, and over/under markets.

Before publishing, we cross-check our fair odds against the prices the major bookmakers are offering. Where a bookmaker is paying out more than our model says is mathematically fair, we flag that market as a value bet on this page.
