Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Real Salt Lake 35%, the draw 30%, San Jose Earthquakes 35%. It finished Real Salt Lake 1–1 San Jose Earthquakes.
Home advantage cancels out San Jose's stronger rating — Our strength rating has San Jose Earthquakes 59 points higher, 1483 to 1424, but Real Salt Lake's home advantage, which runs strong for all home sides in Major League Soccer, pulls things back to 35% each. The draw sits at 30%, starting from the usual 29% for a gap this size and nudged up by San Jose's control of the ball.
Why are Real Salt Lake and San Jose Earthquakes level?
Home ground, against the rating. San Jose Earthquakes sit 59 points higher on our strength rating — 1483 to 1424. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.5% of 10,384 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.
Why only 35% each?
Because San Jose Earthquakes are the stronger side on our strength rating. San Jose Earthquakes sit -0.42 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 31.5% of 1,367 games, vs 27.9% for visitors finishing normally. San Jose Earthquakes 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 5,477 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why the draw at 30%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,172. The control factor adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Real Salt Lake sit -0.34 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. Real Salt Lake have shed 76 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.1% of 9,596 such games vs 33.4% 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.
