Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave St. Louis City 63%, the draw 22%, Los Angeles Galaxy 15%. It finished St. Louis City 6–2 Los Angeles Galaxy.
St. Louis City's rating edge carries it — St. Louis City are the stronger side on our strength rating, and Major League Soccer home advantage on top gives St. Louis City a clear lead. The draw at 22% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why St. Louis City at 63%?
St. Louis City sit 136 points higher on our strength rating — 1600 to 1464. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.7% of 13,339 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 5,221 games vs 44.6% across all 101,096 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 58–25–17.
Why only 63%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 63% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 22% and Los Angeles Galaxy at 15%.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,880. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
St. Louis City have averaged 8 percentage points more possession than Los Angeles Galaxy in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. St. Louis City scored +0.52 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,825 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.4% vs 42.4% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
