Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Tottenham 59%, the draw 25%, Coventry 16%. It finished Tottenham 3–1 Coventry.
Tottenham's stronger rating gives them a clear lead — We give Tottenham 59% mainly because they sit 96 points higher on our strength rating, 1689 to 1594, and their habit of controlling the ball, 58% possession to Coventry's 46% in recent games, adds to it. The draw sits at 25%, close to the usual rate for a gap this size, nudged slightly lower because both teams' own recent games average 3.0 goals.
Why Tottenham at 59%?
Tottenham sit 96 points higher on our strength rating — 1689 to 1594. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.7% of 13,379 such games. Tottenham hold 12 more possession points (58 to 46 in recent games) across a 96-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 60–120-point rating gap won 42.7% of 8,656 such games where the class table expected 40.6%. The 300 most similar past games finished 60–24–16.
Why only 59%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 59% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 25% and Coventry at 16%.
Why the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,255.
What did we measure but not count?
Coventry scored +0.39 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,861 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.3% vs 42.4% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Tottenham have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
