Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Toluca 27%, the draw 27%, Seattle Sounders 46%. It finished Toluca 3–0 Seattle Sounders.
Seattle Sounders' rating edge, but the draw is in play — Seattle Sounders are the stronger side on our strength rating, and neutral ground plus their cold finishing due to recover on top give Seattle Sounders the lean. The draw at 27% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Seattle Sounders at 46%?
Seattle Sounders sit 58 points higher on our strength rating — 1568 to 1626. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 32.9% of 10,481 such games. Leagues Cup is played on neutral grounds: Toluca 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. Seattle Sounders sit -0.58 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.6% of 1,290 games, vs 28.8% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 46%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 46% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Toluca at 27%.
Why is the draw second, level with the Toluca win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,716.
What did we measure but not count?
Seattle Sounders have shed 124 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,577 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Seattle Sounders 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.
