Win Probability: New Mexico United or Monterey Bay?

Using the bookmakers’ odds as a base and adjusting for form, head‑to‑head data and league positions, the win probabilities are:

• New Mexico United win: 55%
• Draw: 25%
• Monterey Bay win: 20%

The raw odds from bookmakers implied a home win probability of around 49%, but we have revised that upward because of New Mexico United’s perfect head‑to‑head record (3 wins, 1 draw in four games), their strong home form in the standings, and the large gap between the two clubs in the league table. Monterey Bay have never beaten New Mexico United in regulation time, and with the match being played in New Mexico, it is hard to see that changing. The draw rate (one in four H2H meetings) gives a 25% chance, while Monterey Bay’s away win probability remains the lowest at 20%.
