Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave St. Louis City 61%, the draw 23%, Minnesota United FC 16%. It finished St. Louis City 4–2 Minnesota United FC.
A slight rating edge to St. Louis City, little else — St. Louis City are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage plus their control of the ball on top give St. Louis City a clear lead. The draw at 23% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why St. Louis City at 61%?
St. Louis City sit 60 points higher on our strength rating — 1623 to 1564. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,454 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. St. Louis City hold 7 more possession points (54 to 47 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 47.9% of 5,211 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level.
Why only 61%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 61% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 23% and Minnesota United FC at 16%.
Why is the draw only 23%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 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.
What did we measure but not count?
St. Louis City have gained 88 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,345 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Minnesota United FC won all of the last 5 games between these sides. Head-to-head dominance hasn't carried forward beyond the rating: sides that won 4+ of the last 5 meetings won 55.6% of 9,302 next meetings vs 55.0% class-expected. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
