Vancouver Whitecaps vs DC United Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 2.50 expected goals for Vancouver Whitecaps and 0.75 for DC United, a combined total of 3.25. That distribution gives Vancouver Whitecaps the largest share of the 1X2 market at 76%, with the draw at 15%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 63% for over 2.5 goals and 48% for both teams to score, with 2–0 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 76% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Vancouver Whitecaps win, at 75.5%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.
It puts both teams scoring at 48% and over 2.5 goals at 63%.
A 76% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
