Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Los Angeles FC 56%, the draw 25%, Minnesota United FC 19%. It finished Los Angeles FC 1–3 Minnesota United FC.
Strong home advantage in Major League Soccer leads the way — We give Los Angeles FC 56% mainly because home sides in Major League Soccer do better than the global norm, and our strength rating adds to that by putting them a shade stronger, 1531 to 1463. The draw sits at 25%, a little below the usual 27% for a gap this size, because both teams' own recent games average 3.6 goals.
Why Los Angeles FC at 56%?
Los Angeles FC sit 68 points higher on our strength rating — 1531 to 1463. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.2% of 11,113 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 5,291 games vs 44.6% across all 108,290 — 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 Minnesota United FC at 19%.
Why the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,539. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Los Angeles FC sit -0.38 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. Los Angeles FC are 4 games into a new manager (Xavi Tamarit), appointed 21 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. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
