Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Charlotte 71%, the draw 17%, CF Montreal 12%. It finished Charlotte 4–0 CF Montreal.
Charlotte's clear strength edge shapes a one-sided forecast — We give Charlotte 71% mainly because they sit 184 points higher on our strength rating, 1513 to 1329, helped further by home advantage running strong across Major League Soccer. The draw starts near 20%, the usual rate for a gap this size, and drops to 17% because both sides' recent games average 3.1 goals and a finishing streak is in play.
Why Charlotte at 71%?
Charlotte sit 184 points higher on our strength rating — 1513 to 1329. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge at home won 66.9% of 7,067 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 49.1% of 5,268 games vs 44.6% across all 108,079 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 64–21–15.
Why not higher?
CF Montreal sit -0.35 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 38.4% of 2,958 such games where the class table expected 35.6%.
Why is the draw only 17%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,464. The goals environment takes 1.7 points off the draw. The bounce-back factor takes 1.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Out: Tim Ream, an important player. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. Out: Prince Owusu, a star player, Jalen Neal, an important player, and Thomas Gillier, on a provisional rating.
