Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave FC Dallas 71%, the draw 18%, Sporting Kansas City 11%. It finished FC Dallas 4–3 Sporting Kansas City.
FC Dallas' rating gap decides it — FC Dallas are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage on top makes it one-sided for FC Dallas. The draw at 18% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why FC Dallas at 71%?
FC Dallas sit 256 points higher on our strength rating — 1593 to 1337. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,974 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. The 300 most similar past games finished 65–20–15.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 71% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 18% and Sporting Kansas City at 11%.
Why is the draw only 18%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,073. The goals environment takes 1.7 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Sporting Kansas City average 8 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 256 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. Sporting Kansas City are missing 3 regular starters — Jacob Davis, Or Blorian, Zorhan Bassong — about 30% 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.
