Market context
St. Louis City SC will face Austin FC on 23 May 2026 in an MLS regular-season match. The market prices exact-score outcomes, with the 49% YES probability reflecting the order book's current assessment that the match will conclude with one of the explicitly listed scorelines rather than any other result. Settlement occurs at the final whistle after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, excluding extra time and penalty decisions.
Exact-score markets in MLS typically see modest probabilities for any single outcome, as the distribution of final scores across football matches remains relatively dispersed. Historical data from comparable MLS fixtures suggests that draws and narrow victories (1–0, 2–1, 1–1) account for roughly 40–50% of all matches, whilst higher-scoring results and larger margins become progressively less likely. The 49% probability here indicates the market is pricing a moderately concentrated set of likely outcomes, consistent with typical MLS scoring patterns where matches averaging 2.5–3 goals per side are common.
Traders should monitor team news regarding injuries and squad availability in the weeks preceding the fixture, as both clubs' attacking and defensive personnel directly influence scoring likelihood. Recent MLS scheduling and fixture congestion may affect team rotation decisions. Weather conditions on match day—particularly wind and temperature in Austin—can suppress or elevate scoring. Any late-season form divergence between the sides, particularly if one club enters the match in poor defensive shape or with depleted attacking options, would shift the probability distribution across specific scorelines.

How active is this market?
$0 in lifetime turnover and $187 of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for sports contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
Key terms
- YES / NO share
- A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

- Liquidity
- USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.
- UMA optimistic oracle
- The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.
- Slippage
- The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.
- Conditional token
- ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

Risk and regulatory note
Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
