Sirius · Why these numbers
Fulham 42% · Draw 28% · Newcastle 30%
Home advantage gives Fulham a slight edge — Our strength rating has almost nothing between the sides, 1725 to 1749, with Newcastle fractionally ahead, so Fulham's usual home advantage is what puts them in front at 42%. The draw sits at 28%, starting from the usual 27% rate between sides this level and nudged up slightly by both teams' recent games averaging 2.5 goals.
Why Fulham in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1725 to 1749. Sides this close won 42.5% of 15,673 home games (draw 27.2%, visitors 30.4%).
Why only 42%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 28% and Newcastle at 30%.
Why the draw at 28%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.4% of 30,399. The goals environment adds 1.2 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Fulham sit -0.84 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. 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.
