What did we measure but not count?
Santos Laguna have shed 85 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,598 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Philadelphia Union have played 3+ games in the last two weeks; their opponents haven't. Between equals, congested home sides won 47.0% of 2417 measured games and congested visitors 28.2% of 2461 — 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.
