Kalshi
This set of markets tracks the total number of goals scored in an upcoming professional MLS soccer match between Philadelphia and New England. Each market corresponds to a different threshold of goals, determining whether the game is considered high-scoring or not based on that threshold. The outcome depends solely on the final score after regular time, excluding any extra time or penalty kicks.
The markets resolve based on whether the total goals scored by both teams in the Philadelphia vs New England professional MLS soccer game scheduled for October 24, 2026, exceed specified thresholds (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, or 5.5 goals). The resolution occurs after the full 90 minutes of play plus any stoppage time, but does not include goals scored during extra time or penalty shootouts. Each market has a unique threshold, and the outcome (Yes or No) is determined by comparing the actual total goals to that threshold. All markets are independent, and each resolves separately according to its specific rule. Kalshi clarifies that it holds no official affiliation with the MLS or its governing bodies, and all trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
Generally, prediction markets like Kalshi often provide forecasts that are as accurate, and sometimes more so, than traditional sportsbook odds. This is because prediction markets aggregate the wisdom of many individuals, incentivized to make accurate predictions. While sportsbooks set odds based on their own models and profit margins, this market reflects the collective belief of traders. Discrepancies can arise due to differing opinions, information advantages held by traders, or simply variations in how risk is assessed. It's worth comparing both to form a well-rounded view.
On Kalshi, this market is priced using a continuous double auction. Traders buy and sell contracts representing their belief about whether the total goals scored will be over or under a certain number. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The price of a contract ranges from 0 to 100, representing the probability of the 'yes' outcome. As more traders buy 'yes' contracts, the price increases, and vice versa. This dynamic pricing mechanism ensures the market reflects the most up-to-date collective prediction, and allows traders to profit from correctly anticipating the outcome.
This market resolves around Oct 25, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The resolution will be based on the total number of goals scored by both Philadelphia and New England during the official match. Any overtime or penalty shootouts will be included in the final goal count. The market will settle to 100 if the total goals exceed the specified threshold, and to 0 if it falls below. Traders holding contracts will receive payouts based on the final resolution value.
Several factors could influence trading activity in this market. News regarding key player injuries or suspensions for either Philadelphia or New England would likely cause significant movement. Changes in weather forecasts, particularly if they suggest conditions favorable or unfavorable for high-scoring games, could also impact prices. Unexpected announcements about team tactics or starting lineups might also shift trader sentiment. Finally, any significant shifts in public opinion, as reflected in sports news and analysis, could contribute to changes in the market price.
