Details

We compare the market-implied chance for Charlotte FC (1/2.50 = 40.0%) to our estimated true win probability of 50%. Multiple previews and model-based predictions in the research favor Charlotte (one model gives ~53% probability and another preview predicts a 2-1 Charlotte win), while opposing previews note New York City strengths and some matchup concerns. Head-to-head history slightly favors New York City, but the balance of recent previews and model outputs point to Charlotte being undervalued at 2.50. At our 50% estimate the bet has positive expected value (EV = 0.50 * 2.50 - 1 = +0.25). We therefore recommend the home moneyline only because current widely-available prices show clear value versus our conservative probability estimate.
