Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Everton 57%, the draw 24%, Ipswich 19%. It finished Everton 1–0 Ipswich.
Everton's rating edge carries it — Everton are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Everton's 57%. The draw at 24% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Everton at 57%?
Everton sit 182 points higher on our strength rating — 1871 to 1689. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,822 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 63–17–20.
Why only 57%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Everton's column. Across 11,181 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 the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.1%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,242. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Ipswich have gained 63 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,385 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Ipswich are newly promoted — game 5 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
