Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Cagliari 36%, the draw 31%, Bologna 33%. It finished Cagliari 0–2 Bologna.
Home advantage edges Cagliari past stronger Bologna — We give Cagliari 36% because the usual home advantage just outweighs Bologna's edge on our strength rating, 1666 to 1615, though weak home form across Serie A trims that lift. The draw sits at 31%, up from a usual 29% for a gap this size, raised by typical scoring in both sides' recent games and Serie A's draw rate.
Why Cagliari at 36%?
Home ground, against the rating. Bologna sit 51 points higher on our strength rating — 1666 to 1615. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.5% of 11,084 such games.
Why only 36%?
Because Bologna are the stronger side on our strength rating. 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 6,152 games vs 44.6% across all 107,859 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why the draw at 31%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.1%. These teams' recent games average 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.4% of 30,297. The goals environment adds 1.2 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Cagliari sit -0.40 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. Cagliari have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. 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). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
