Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Club America 39%, the draw 22%, Portland Timbers 39%. It finished Club America 3–1 Portland Timbers.
Anyone's game — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Portland Timbers' hot finishing due to cool against neutral ground cancels out. The draw at 22% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why are Club America and Portland Timbers level?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1557 to 1564. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,775 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%). Portland Timbers scored +0.48 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 29.1% of 1,430 games, vs 28.9% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 39% each?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. 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 26,871 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 22%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.8 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,878. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. The cool-off factor takes 2.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Portland Timbers have gained 64 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.5% of 12,125 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Portland Timbers have played 3+ games in the last two weeks; their opponents haven't. Between equals, congested home sides won 47.0% of 2416 measured games and congested visitors 28.1% of 2455 — 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.
