- Home advantage made San Jose Earthquakes the favourite: it added 9 points to their win chance.
- Nashville SC's expected eleven was in form: average EAR = Elo Above Replacement, football's version of baseball's WAR (Wins Above Replacement). Every rated match scores a player against the average performance for their position: better adds to EAR, worse subtracts.
