Sirius · Why these numbers

Before kick-off Sirius gave Columbus Crew 51%, the draw 27%, New England Revolution 22%. It finished Columbus Crew 1–3 New England Revolution.

Columbus Crew's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Columbus Crew are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage on top gives Columbus Crew the lean. The draw at 27% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.

Why Columbus Crew at 51%?

Columbus Crew sit 86 points higher on our strength rating — 1598 to 1512. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.6% of 10,398 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 5,129 games vs 44.9% across all 99,542 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.

Why only 51%?

New England Revolution sit -0.50 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.5% of 1,331 games, vs 29.0% for visitors finishing normally.

Why is the draw second, ahead of the New England Revolution win?

With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,926.

What did we measure but not count?

New England Revolution are missing 3 regular starters — Peyton Miller, Dor Turgeman, Brooklyn Raines — about 29% 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. Last 6 between them: Columbus Crew 4 wins, 0 draws, New England Revolution 2 wins. Most recently New England Revolution 2–1 Columbus Crew, 4 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5065 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
