Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Orlando City SC 61%, the draw 21%, DC United 18%. It finished Orlando City SC 4–1 DC United.
Orlando City's stronger rating gives them a clear lead — Orlando City SC sit 113 points higher on our strength rating, 1494 to 1381, and home sides in Major League Soccer tend to out-perform the global norm, so we give them 61%. The draw starts near 25% for a gap this size but falls to 21%, because both teams' recent games average 3.6 goals and DC United's finishing streak trims it further.
Why Orlando City SC at 61%?
Orlando City SC sit 113 points higher on our strength rating — 1494 to 1381. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.7% of 13,358 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 5,237 games vs 44.6% across all 101,264 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 53–25–22.
Why only 61%?
DC United sit -0.49 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.7% of 2,529 such games where the class table expected 35.9%.
Why is the draw only 21%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,940. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw. The bounce-back factor takes 1.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Orlando City SC have averaged 21 percentage points more possession than DC United in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Orlando City SC scored +0.50 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,843 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.4% vs 42.3% 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.
