Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Minnesota United FC 40%, the draw 28%, Houston Dynamo 32%. It finished Minnesota United FC 2–2 Houston Dynamo.
Home ground outweighs Houston Dynamo's rating edge — Houston Dynamo are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Major League Soccer home advantage gives Minnesota United FC the lean. The draw at 28% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Minnesota United FC at 40%?
Home ground, against the rating. Houston Dynamo sit 40 points higher on our strength rating — 1435 to 1475. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.6% of 10,361 such games. Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.7% vs 30.0%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.2% of 5,207 games vs 44.6% across all 101,016 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 40%?
Because Houston Dynamo are the stronger side on our strength rating. Houston Dynamo hold 6 more possession points (52 to 46 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 39.8% across 5,466 games, from 43.9% when styles were level.
Why the draw at 28%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,847. The goals environment takes 2.5 points off the draw. The control factor adds 1.3 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Out: Joaquín Pereyra, a star player, and Jefferson Díaz, an important player. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. Out: Héctor Herrera, an important player. Doubtful: A. Resch, an important player. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
