Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Seattle Sounders 49%, the draw 28%, New York Red Bulls 23%. It finished Seattle Sounders 0–0 New York Red Bulls.
Seattle Sounders' rating edge, but the draw is in play — Seattle Sounders are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage on top gives Seattle Sounders the lean. The draw at 28% is up from the usual 26.5% for a gap this size, as small adjustments add up.
Why Seattle Sounders at 49%?
Seattle Sounders sit 93 points higher on our strength rating — 1565 to 1473. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,414 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 5,132 games vs 44.9% across all 99,727 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 49%?
New York Red Bulls sit -0.58 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.5% of 1,343 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally. New York Red Bulls hold 7 more possession points (50 to 43 in recent games) across a 93-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,650 such games where the class table expected 41.3%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the New York Red Bulls 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 24,965. The control factor adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Seattle Sounders sit -0.34 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. Seattle Sounders have shed 110 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,701 such games vs 34.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
