📊 Match recap and data context

Vancouver Whitecaps defeated Sporting KC 3-0 in MLS play. Our model backed the Whitecaps at 55 percent probability, and the pick landed. Sporting KC had won just once in their last five matches and conceded in 60 percent of those games, a vulnerability the visitors exploited decisively. The hosts managed no goals despite their recent tendency toward both teams scoring. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
