Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Houston Dynamo 59%, the draw 22%, Minnesota United FC 19%. It finished Houston Dynamo 0–0 Minnesota United FC.
Strong home advantage in this competition lifts Houston — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, Houston Dynamo lead at 59% mainly because home sides in Major League Soccer out-perform the global norm, helped by their control of the ball. The draw drops from a usual 27% to 22%, as both teams' recent games average 4.0 goals and Minnesota's hot finishing streak tends to cool.
Why Houston Dynamo in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1480 to 1451. Sides this close won 46.0% of 14,522 home games (draw 27.4%, visitors 26.6%). 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. Houston Dynamo hold 8 more possession points (52 to 44 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something.
