Sirius · Why these numbers

Before kick-off Sirius gave Venezia 36%, the draw 30%, Fiorentina 34%. It finished Venezia 2–4 Fiorentina.

Anyone's game — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Fiorentina's cold finishing due to recover plus the early-season home fade is not enough to separate them. The draw at 30% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.

Why Venezia in front?

Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1694 to 1741. Sides this close won 43.1% of 15,969 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%).

Why only 36%?

Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Fiorentina sit -0.46 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.4% of 1,359 games, vs 29.2% for visitors finishing normally. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Venezia's column. Across 11,040 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.

Why the draw at 30%?

Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,040. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. Serie A runs draw-heavy, adding 1.0 points.

What did we measure but not count?

A 19-point possession gap between near-equal sides is unusual. Gaps this extreme are too rare to receipt — around 367 measured games, under our 300-game floor — so it's noted at 0 points. Venezia are newly promoted — game 4 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
