Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Monza 20%, the draw 21%, Napoli 59%. It finished Monza 1–4 Napoli.
Napoli's strength edge drives a clear lead — Napoli sit 218 points higher on our strength rating, 1782 to 1564, and home advantage running weak across Serie A adds a little more, so we give them 59%. The draw sits at 21%, starting near 23% for a gap this size, trimmed because both sides' own recent games average 3.5 goals.
Why Napoli at 59%?
Napoli sit 218 points higher on our strength rating — 1782 to 1564. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge on the road won 50.4% of 7,194 such games. 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 6,164 games vs 44.6% across all 108,079 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 20–22–58.
Why only 59%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 59% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 21% and Monza at 20%.
Why is the draw only 21%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 22.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,464. The goals environment takes 2.0 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Monza 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. Out: Matteo Pessina, an important player, and Michael Folorunsho, on a provisional rating. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
