Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Real Betis 24%, the draw 24%, Real Madrid 52%. It finished Real Betis 1–0 Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's rating gap outweighs Real Betis' home ground — Real Madrid are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Real Madrid the lean. The draw at 24% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Real Madrid at 52%?
Real Madrid sit 221 points higher on our strength rating — 1922 to 2144. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 51.9% of 6,064 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Real Betis's column. Across 10,893 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. The 300 most similar past games finished 26–23–51.
Why only 52%?
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 6,111 games vs 44.9% across all 99,703 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.0%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,064. 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?
Real Madrid average 9 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 221 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Real Betis scored +0.44 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,823 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
