⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Philadelphia, but divergent money distribution suggests sharp action on NYCFC as a value underdog, though math supports following the home side given their defensive metrics and injury edge. Overall game scoring outlook points to a moderate total, with Philadelphia’s low xGA (0.9 per game) and NYCFC’s reduced attack likely keeping goals under 2.5 in 48% of simulations. Contrarian logic applies mildly due to reverse line hints, but EV confirms home value without forcing a fade.
