Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Crystal Palace 40%, the draw 26%, Newcastle 34%. It finished Crystal Palace 0–2 Newcastle.
Home advantage edges Crystal Palace in front narrowly — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, 1737 to 1759, the usual home advantage puts Crystal Palace slightly ahead at 40%, though Newcastle's greater share of the ball pulls the other way. The draw sits at 26%, just under the usual 27% for sides this level, as high-scoring recent games outweigh Newcastle's control.
Why Crystal Palace in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1737 to 1759. Sides this close won 42.4% of 15,614 home games (draw 27.2%, visitors 30.4%).
Why only 40%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Newcastle hold 11 more possession points (54 to 43 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 39.7% across 5,924 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why the draw at 26%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,416. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. The control factor adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Newcastle have shed 64 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.0% of 10,371 such games vs 33.3% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Newcastle 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.
