Charlotte
Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Charlotte 73%, the draw 18%, DC United 9%. It finished Charlotte 3–1 DC United.
Charlotte's rating gap decides it — Charlotte are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage on top makes it one-sided for Charlotte. The draw at 18% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Charlotte at 73%?
Charlotte sit 213 points higher on our strength rating — 1592 to 1379. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,944 such games. Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.8% vs 30.2%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.4% of 5,101 games vs 44.9% across all 99,210 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 60–22–18.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 73% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 18% and DC United at 9%.
Why is the draw only 18%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,962. The goals environment takes 1.7 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Charlotte average 7 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 213 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. DC United are missing 3 regular starters — Peglow, Lucas Bartlett, Kye Rowles — about 26% of their usual starting-XI weight. Our measured receipt covers one-sided absences only, and the picture here isn't one-sided — both squads are short. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
