Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Inter Miami 74%, the draw 15%, Monterrey 11%. It finished Inter Miami 1–2 Monterrey.
Inter Miami's rating gap decides it on neutral ground — Inter Miami are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Inter Miami's 74%. The draw at 15% is lifted by neutral ground.
Why Inter Miami at 74%?
Inter Miami sit 346 points higher on our strength rating — 1831 to 1486. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.8% of 5,052 such games.
Why not higher?
Leagues Cup is played on neutral grounds: Inter Miami 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 26,852 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 is the draw only 15%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 13.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.9 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,858. Neutral ground adds 2.7 points to the draw. The goals environment takes 1.4 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Monterrey have shed 64 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,584 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Inter Miami are missing 3 regular starters — Ian Fray, Rodrigo De Paul, Lionel Messi — about 43% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
