Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Inter Miami 63%, the draw 22%, New York City FC 15%. It finished Inter Miami 2–0 New York City FC.
Strength rating puts Inter Miami clearly in front — We give Inter Miami 63% mainly because our strength rating has them 115 points higher, 1597 to 1482, and home sides in Major League Soccer tend to do better than the global norm. The draw sits at 22%, starting from the usual 25% for a gap this size and nudged down because both teams' own recent games average 3.3 goals.
Why Inter Miami at 63%?
Inter Miami sit 115 points higher on our strength rating — 1597 to 1482. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.7% of 13,350 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 5,222 games vs 44.6% across all 101,177 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 59–24–17.
Why only 63%?
