Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Atalanta 66%, the draw 22%, Venezia 12%. It finished Atalanta 3–1 Venezia.
Atalanta's strength edge, trimmed by early-season caution — Our strength rating puts Atalanta 199 points clear of Venezia, which is why we give them 66%, though both sides being inside their first six league games trims that a little. The draw sits at 22%, up from a usual 19% for a gap this size, mostly because draws run slightly higher this early in the season.
Why Atalanta at 66%?
Atalanta sit 199 points higher on our strength rating — 1741 to 1542. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge at home won 66.8% of 6,575 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 72–18–10.
Why only 66%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Atalanta's column. Across 11,294 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 6,139 games vs 44.6% across all 101,146 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 18.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.7 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.5% of 28,308. Early-season fixtures add 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Venezia have averaged 12 percentage points more possession than Atalanta in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Venezia have shed 67 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.1% of 9,593 such games vs 33.4% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
