Match analysis

El Paso Locomotive and Pittsburgh Riverhounds are combining for just 2.2 goals a game this USL Championship season, and Superior's Under 3.5 goals pick for their meeting on 27 August is priced at 1.23 with 63 percent confidence. El Paso Locomotive have not been involved in a match with four or more goals in any of their last five outings.

El Paso have not conceded more than once in five matches

El Paso Locomotive have won four of their last five matches while conceding just twice across the whole run, a defensive record that fits a low-scoring pick. Pittsburgh Riverhounds have won both of their own away matches in that same stretch, 1-0 at Brooklyn and 1-0 at Oakland Roots, without conceding in either. The two sides' combined goals average of 2.2 is among the lowest on this list.

Pittsburgh put three goals past Charleston Battery

Pittsburgh Riverhounds beat Charleston Battery 3-1 at home in their last five matches, the one result in this sample from either side that produced four goals. This bet loses if the match produces four goals or more, and a repeat of that kind of finishing from Pittsburgh alongside any response from El Paso would be enough to beat it.
