Match analysis
Detroit City have conceded just twice across their last five matches, and that defensive record is behind Superior's Under 3.5 goals pick at 1.33 for their USL Championship meeting with Hartford Athletic on 5 September, priced at a 74 percent probability.
Detroit City have conceded only twice in their last five matches
Two of Detroit City's last five finished 0-0 and two more 1-0, with the only goal against them coming in a 2-2 draw, a defensive record that keeps this fixture's total in check even with Hartford scoring at 2.0 goals a game on the road. The two previous meetings between these sides, both won by Hartford, finished 2-1 and 2-1.
Hartford's 4-2 and 3-2 wins show their attack can break through
The pick loses if this produces four goals or more, and Hartford have already crossed that line twice in their last five, winning 4-2 and 3-2. If Hartford's attack repeats either of those performances against a Detroit City defence that has otherwise been watertight, this goes well past the total Superior is backing.
