Sirius · Why these numbers

Home ground outweighs Atlanta United FC's rating edge — Atlanta United FC are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Major League Soccer home advantage gives DC United the lean. The draw at 27% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why DC United at 41%?
Home ground, against the rating. Atlanta United FC sit 54 points higher on our strength rating — 1389 to 1442. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,621 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 49.3% of 5,159 games vs 44.9% across all 100,077 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 41%?
Because Atlanta United FC are the stronger side on our strength rating. Atlanta United FC hold 8 more possession points (47 to 39 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something.

Why the draw at 27%?
