Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Chicago Fire 54%, the draw 23%, Orlando City SC 23%. It finished Chicago Fire 2–2 Orlando City SC.
Home advantage gives Chicago Fire a slight lean — With the sides level on our strength rating, home advantage puts Chicago Fire in front, and it runs strong in Major League Soccer, while Orlando City's recent scoring above their chances is the kind of streak that tends to cool. The draw sits at 23%, down from a usual 27%, as both teams' recent games average 3.9 goals and that finishing streak lowers it further.
Why Chicago Fire in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1534 to 1501. Sides this close won 46.0% of 14,542 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 5,268 games vs 44.6% across all 108,079 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. Orlando City SC scored +0.65 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 27.5% of 1,642 games, vs 27.8% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 54%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 23% and Orlando City SC at 23%.
Why is the draw only 23%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.4%. These teams' recent games average 3.9 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,464. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. The cool-off factor takes 2.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Orlando City SC are 5 games into a new manager (M. Perelman), appointed 32 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. Out: Djé D'Avilla, an important player, and Mbekezeli Mbokazi and Robin Lod, rotation players. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
