Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Celta Vigo 51%, the draw 28%, Athletic Club 21%. It finished Celta Vigo 0–2 Athletic Club.
Celta Vigo's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Celta Vigo are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and La Liga home advantage on top gives Celta Vigo the lean. The draw at 28% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Celta Vigo at 51%?
Celta Vigo sit 71 points higher on our strength rating — 1845 to 1774. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.6% of 10,398 such games. La Liga home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (28.3% vs 30.2%). La Liga homes won 46.7% of 6,105 games vs 44.9% across all 99,542 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 51%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Celta Vigo's column. Across 10,823 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Athletic Club win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,926. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
