Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Real Sociedad 32%, the draw 29%, Atletico Madrid 39%. It finished Real Sociedad 0–3 Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid's rating edge outweighs Real Sociedad's home ground — Atletico Madrid are the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Atletico Madrid the lean. The draw at 29% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Atletico Madrid at 39%?
Atletico Madrid sit 145 points higher on our strength rating — 1829 to 1974. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,176 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Real Sociedad's column. Across 11,115 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.6% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018. The 300 most similar past games finished 36–26–38.
Why only 39%?
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 6,126 games vs 44.9% across all 100,162 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why the draw at 29%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.9 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,076. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Atletico Madrid have shed 73 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,748 such games vs 34.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Real Sociedad are missing 1 regular starter — Zubeldia — about 18% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
