Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Los Angeles Galaxy 56%, the draw 25%, Austin 19%. It finished Los Angeles Galaxy 4–1 Austin.
Strong home advantage in Major League Soccer drives Galaxy lead — We give Los Angeles Galaxy 56%, mainly because home sides in Major League Soccer do better than the global norm, and our strength rating adds to that by rating them a shade stronger, 1469 to 1415. The draw sits at 25%, starting from 27% for a gap this size and nudged down because both teams' own recent games average 3.5 goals.
Why Los Angeles Galaxy at 56%?
Los Angeles Galaxy sit 55 points higher on our strength rating — 1469 to 1415. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.1% of 11,106 such games. Major League Soccer home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (25.8% vs 30.0%). Major League Soccer homes won 49.0% of 5,282 games vs 44.6% across all 108,210 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 56%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 56% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 25% and Austin at 19%.
Why the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,505. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last five: Los Angeles Galaxy W-L-W-D-D, Austin L-L-L-W-L — Los Angeles Galaxy are clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 43.9% of 2031 games when clearly hotter and 43.8% of 3929 when clearly colder. Los Angeles Galaxy on 5 days' rest, Austin on 2. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 45,007 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
