Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Nashville SC 41%, the draw 24%, Inter Miami 35%. It finished Nashville SC 4–1 Inter Miami.
Home ground outweighs Inter Miami's rating edge — Inter Miami are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Major League Soccer home advantage plus Nashville SC's unbeaten home run give Nashville SC the lean. The draw at 24% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Nashville SC at 41%?
Home ground, against the rating. Inter Miami sit 105 points higher on our strength rating — 1687 to 1792. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,044 such games. 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 5,071 games vs 44.9% across all 99,031 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. Nashville SC have kept their home record clean this season — 9 home games without defeat. Sides protecting an unbeaten home season won 59.1% of 4,880 such games where the class table expected 56.1% — one of the few streak facts that clears our evidence bar.
Why only 41%?
Because Inter Miami are the stronger side on our strength rating. The rest is the draw at 24% and Inter Miami at 35%.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.9 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,913. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Nashville SC scored +0.86 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,760 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Inter Miami scored +0.51 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
