Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Columbus Crew 49%, the draw 25%, U.N.A.M. - Pumas 26%. It finished Columbus Crew 1–1 U.N.A.M. - Pumas.
Columbus Crew's rating edge on neutral ground — Columbus Crew are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Columbus Crew's 49%. The draw at 25% is lifted by neutral ground.
Why Columbus Crew at 49%?
Columbus Crew sit 188 points higher on our strength rating — 1658 to 1470. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.2% of 12,672 such games.
Why only 49%?
Leagues Cup is played on neutral grounds: Columbus Crew 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 26,870 games vs 45.3% 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 the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,760. Neutral ground adds 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Columbus Crew average 6 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 188 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Columbus Crew have played 3+ games in the last two weeks; their opponents haven't. Between equals, congested home sides won 47.0% of 2415 measured games and congested visitors 28.2% of 2459 — 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.
