Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Leeds 39%, the draw 28%, Manchester United 33%. It finished Leeds 1–1 Manchester United.
Home advantage edges Leeds in front of United — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, Leeds lead mainly through the usual home advantage, while Manchester United's control of the ball, 54 to 46 in possession in recent games, pulls the other way. The draw sits at 28%, close to the usual 27% for sides this level, nudged up by United's control of the ball.
Why Leeds in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1772 to 1807. Sides this close won 42.6% of 14,848 home games (draw 27.1%, visitors 30.3%).
Why only 39%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Manchester United hold 8 more possession points (54 to 46 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 39.8% across 5,492 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why the draw at 28%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.1%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,238. The control factor adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Out: Benjamin Šeško and Patrick Dorgu, rotation players. Doubtful: Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo, important players.
