Sirius · Why these numbers

Before kick-off Sirius gave Inter Miami 54%, the draw 22%, Nashville SC 24%. It finished Inter Miami 2–2 Nashville SC.

Level sides, home ground swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage plus Nashville SC's hot finishing due to cool give Inter Miami the lean. The draw at 22% is held down by a high-scoring environment.

Why Inter Miami in front?

Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1754 to 1722. Sides this close won 45.7% of 14,634 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%). 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. Nashville SC scored +1.20 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 28.8% of 1,496 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally.

Why only 54%?

Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 22% and Nashville SC at 24%.

Why is the draw only 22%?

Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.8 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,178. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. The cool-off factor takes 1.6 points off the draw.

What did we measure but not count?

Inter Miami have shed 75 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,737 such games vs 34.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Inter Miami have won the last 4 home meetings with Nashville SC. Streaks like this look decisive, but sides on a 3+ home run in a fixture won 58.9% of 4,902 such games vs 58.4% class-expected — the strength that built the streak is already in the rating.
