Charlotte's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Charlotte are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Charlotte's 49%. The draw at 27% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.

What did we measure but not count?
Charlotte are missing 2 regular starters — Nathan Byrne, David Schnegg — about 19% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. Charlotte have played 3+ games in the last two weeks; their opponents haven't. Between equals, congested home sides won 47.0% of 2412 measured games and congested visitors 28.2% of 2452 — the cells disagree with each other and with the flat rest table, so schedule stays a watch item at 0 points. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
