Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Deportivo La Coruna 50%, the draw 23%, Levante 27%. It finished Deportivo La Coruna 1–1 Levante.
Ball control edges Deportivo La Coruna in front — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, Deportivo La Coruna's habit of controlling the ball, 47 to 40 in possession, is the main reason we give them 50%. The draw starts at 27% for evenly matched sides but drops to 23%, mostly because both teams' recent games average 3.2 goals.
Why Deportivo La Coruna in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1596 to 1632. Sides this close won 42.6% of 14,823 home games (draw 27.1%, visitors 30.3%). Deportivo La Coruna hold 7 more possession points (47 to 40 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 48.2% of 5,146 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level. La Liga home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to away wins (28.3% vs 30.0%). La Liga homes won 46.6% of 6,158 games vs 44.6% across all 101,242 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 50%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Deportivo La Coruna scored +0.38 goals per game beyond chance-quality — home sides this hot gave some of it back. Opponents of hot-finishing home sides won 28.6% of 1,484 games, vs 27.7% against normal finishing.
Why is the draw only 23%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.1%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,931. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Deportivo La Coruna are newly promoted — game 9 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides are said to struggle, but our rating already carries most of it: across 3,012 first-ten games since 2016 they won 26.8% where the rating expected 28.1% — inside the noise band, below it in six of the ten full seasons we hold and about level last season. Levante come into this after a busy window — 11 arrivals and 15 departures over the summer. 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).
