Level sides, home ground swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage gives Minnesota United FC the lean. The draw at 27% is what level sides usually produce.
Why Minnesota United FC in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1574 to 1586. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,753 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.1%). Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.7% vs 30.2%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.5% of 5,056 games vs 44.9% across all 98,721 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 45%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. San Diego hold 9 more possession points (60 to 51 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.4% across 5,517 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why the draw at 27%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.5% of 24,698. The control factor adds 1.3 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Minnesota United FC sit -0.46 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0.
