Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Como 51%, the draw 25%, Manchester United 24%. It finished Como 4–1 Manchester United.
Como's home advantage gives them a slight lean — Our strength rating has almost nothing between the sides, 1831 to 1808, so Como's usual home advantage puts them in front, helped by their control of the ball, with 60% possession in recent games to Manchester United's 53%. The draw sits at 25%, below the usual 28% for sides this level, because both teams' own recent games average 3.2 goals.
Why Como in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1831 to 1808. Sides this close won 45.8% of 13,755 home games (draw 27.7%, visitors 26.5%). Como hold 7 more possession points (60 to 53 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 48.3% of 5,170 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level.
Why only 51%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 25% and Manchester United at 24%.
Why the draw at 25%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 17,071. The goals environment takes 2.4 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Manchester United have shed 69 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.1% of 9,629 such games vs 33.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Out: Assane Diao, an important player, and Trevoh Chalobah, on a provisional rating. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
