Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Liverpool 62%, the draw 22%, Fulham 16%. It finished Liverpool 0–0 Fulham.
Liverpool's rating gap decides it — Liverpool are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Liverpool's 62%. The draw at 22% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Liverpool at 62%?
Liverpool sit 232 points higher on our strength rating — 2028 to 1797. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.1% of 5,992 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 70–16–14.
Why only 62%?
Fulham sit -0.54 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 39.0% of 2,436 such games where the class table expected 36.3%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Liverpool's column. Across 11,058 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.6%. These teams' recent games average 2.9 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,048. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Liverpool scored +0.38 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,853 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Liverpool on 2 days' rest, Fulham on 7. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 43,757 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
