Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Napoli 53%, the draw 28%, Frosinone 19%. It finished Napoli 3–0 Frosinone.
Napoli's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Napoli are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Napoli's 53%. The draw at 28% is up from the usual 24.8% for a gap this size, as small adjustments add up.
Why Napoli at 53%?
Napoli sit 139 points higher on our strength rating — 1791 to 1652. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.7% of 13,330 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 65–21–14.
Why only 53%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Napoli's column. Across 11,252 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.7%, with draws up 1.4 — negative in every season since 2018. Serie A home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to the other outcomes. Serie A homes won 43.3% of 6,131 games vs 44.6% across all 101,016 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Frosinone win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.8%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.5% of 28,284. Early-season fixtures add 1.4 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Napoli have averaged 7 percentage points more possession than Frosinone in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Frosinone scored +0.47 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,820 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.4% vs 42.4% 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.
