Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Club America 37%, the draw 24%, San Diego 39%. It finished Club America 3–1 San Diego.
Level sides on neutral ground — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and neutral ground gives San Diego the lean. The draw at 24% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why San Diego in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1540 to 1586. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,760 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.1%). Leagues Cup is played on neutral grounds: Club America 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 26,824 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 39%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 24% and Club America at 37%.
Why the draw at 24%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,839. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Club America arrive with 12 fully-tracked matches, so their strength number is a first estimate that will move quickly; San Diego bring a 60-game record. New-to-the-record sides are where our rating knows least.
