Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Los Angeles Galaxy 39%, the draw 30%, Seattle Sounders 31%. It finished Los Angeles Galaxy 1–1 Seattle Sounders.
Home ground outweighs Seattle Sounders' rating edge — Seattle Sounders are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Major League Soccer home advantage gives Los Angeles Galaxy the lean. The draw at 30% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Los Angeles Galaxy at 39%?
Home ground, against the rating. Seattle Sounders sit 85 points higher on our strength rating — 1480 to 1565. 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 39%?
Because Seattle Sounders are the stronger side on our strength rating. Seattle Sounders sit -0.34 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.5% of 1,362 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally.
Why the draw at 30%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,797. The goals environment adds 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Los Angeles Galaxy sit -0.42 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 85 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. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
