Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave CF Montreal 23%, the draw 20%, Nashville SC 57%. It finished CF Montreal 0–2 Nashville SC.
Nashville's strength gap outweighs Montreal's home edge — Nashville SC sit 315 points higher on our strength rating, 1651 to 1336, which is why we give them 57%, though home sides in Major League Soccer tend to out-perform the norm, which helps CF Montreal a little. The draw starts near 22%, usual for a gap this size, and drops to 20% because both teams' recent games average 3.2 goals.
Why Nashville SC at 57%?
Nashville SC sit 315 points higher on our strength rating — 1651 to 1336. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge on the road won 65.7% of 6,277 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 20–22–58.
Why only 57%?
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 49.1% of 5,253 games vs 44.6% across all 107,859 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
