Gotham FCSan DiegoNew York Gotham FC, sitting atop the standings with a 41% win probability, is expected to narrowly beat San Diego Wave FC, who are traveling to the East Coast. The model projects a low-scoring game with Gotham FC scoring 1.20 goals and Wave FC scoring 1.07. The points gap between the two teams, a mere 5 points, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup, with Gotham FC likely to capitalize on their home-field advantage and strong form to secure a narrow victory.

- Their results sit below the underlying numbers, about 10 goals short of what the chances suggest. The table undersells them.
- The goalkeeping has been a weak spot, 14th of 16.
