Expected faction ratio in MoP?

I know this is likely not possible to predict, but does anyone have an idea which faction will be more/less popular in MoP? I’m wanting to play BG’s quite a lot in MoP so I would prefer to go with the less populated faction for the faster queue times. Faction ratio seems to vary massively in each WoW version, but if the current Cata ratio is anything to go by it seems to be 75% Horde which makes my faction choice quite easy.

I never played Cata/MoP back in the day, so I’m not sure if Horde was the more popular faction in Cata back then, or if Alliance had a population surge when MoP came out. I know I’m likely asking a more or less impossible question to answer, but there’s plenty of people here who will have a lot more insight and expansion experience than me that may be able to give an educated prediction, I’m just trying to avoid using my boost from SoD on the wrong faction for the content I’d like to do. Any replies are welcome!

If Horde has a million players, then I am one of them.
If Horde has ten players, then I am one of them.
If Horde has only one player then that is me.
If Horde has no players, then that means I am no longer on Azeroth.

If the Alliance is against the Horde, then I am against the Alliance.

For serious pvpers, I think Alliance will be the go-to because of humans and night elves. I could be wrong, of course, but there are videos you can watch on YouTube from more knowledgeable people.
