Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Monterrey 28%, the draw 25%, Orlando City SC 47%. It finished Monterrey 1–2 Orlando City SC.
Orlando City SC's rating edge on neutral ground — Orlando City SC are the stronger side on our strength rating, and neutral ground on top gives Orlando City SC the lean. The draw at 25% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Orlando City SC at 47%?
Orlando City SC sit 102 points higher on our strength rating — 1496 to 1597. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.2% of 13,011 such games. Leagues Cup is played on neutral grounds: Monterrey are the listed home side but get none of the usual home lift, so the class read is re-centred. On grounds we detect as neutral, listed-home sides won 44.6% of 26,816 games vs 45.2% at real homes — so a tournament game away from a side's own ground scores the class edge venue-free, as the average of the home and away reads.
Why only 47%?
Monterrey hold 10 more possession points (59 to 49 in recent games) across a 102-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,558 such games where the class table expected 41.3%.
Why the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,837. The goals environment takes 2.2 points off the draw. Neutral ground takes 1.5 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Orlando City SC scored +0.59 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,733 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.0% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Orlando City SC have played 3+ games in the last two weeks; their opponents haven't. Between equals, congested home sides won 46.9% of 2413 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.
