Union Omaha vs Spokane Velocity Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this season finale between Union Omaha and Spokane Velocity. The lads from Omaha are finishing the season like a train - unbeaten in their last 10 games with 7 wins and 3 draws. They've been banging them in for fun too, averaging 2.3 goals per game while keeping it tight at the back with only 0.6 conceded.

Spokane, sitting pretty in 3rd, have had a bit of a mixed bag lately. Three wins, three draws, and four losses in their last 10 doesn't exactly scream confidence, especially after that 6-1 hammering they took from Portland Hearts of Pine in their last outing. On their travels, they're only winning a third of their games and letting in 2 goals per match away from home.

But here's the stat that's got my attention - these two teams have played each other 7 times, and EVERY SINGLE MATCH has gone over 2.5 goals. That's not just a pattern, that's practically a guarantee! The last meeting was a 2-2 draw, and before that, we've seen 3-0, 4-0, and 1-2 scorelines. Goals, goals, goals.

Union Omaha have been particularly lethal at home, scoring 2.57 per game at their own patch. With Spokane's defence looking about as solid as a chocolate teapot away from home (conceding 2 per game on the road), you can see where this is heading.

The odds of 1.64 for over 2.5 goals look like proper value to me. Given the perfect head-to-head record and the current form of both teams, I'd be surprised if we don't see at least three goals hit the back of the net here.
