Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Tigres UANL 30%, the draw 28%, Vancouver Whitecaps 42%. It finished Tigres UANL 1–1 Vancouver Whitecaps.
Vancouver Whitecaps' rating edge outweighs Tigres UANL's home ground — Vancouver Whitecaps are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their control of the ball on top gives Vancouver Whitecaps the lean. The draw at 28% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Vancouver Whitecaps at 42%?
Vancouver Whitecaps sit 149 points higher on our strength rating — 1535 to 1684. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.2% of 13,031 such games. Vancouver Whitecaps hold 11 more possession points (61 to 50 in recent games) across a 149-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,579 such games where the class table expected 41.3%. The 300 most similar past games finished 34–28–38.
Why only 42%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 42% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 28% and Tigres UANL at 30%.
Why the draw at 28%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,760. The control factor adds 1.2 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Vancouver Whitecaps 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. Tigres UANL arrive with 18 fully-tracked matches, so their strength number is a first estimate that will move quickly; Vancouver Whitecaps bring a 370-game record. New-to-the-record sides are where our rating knows least.
