Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Paris Saint Germain 69%, the draw 17%, Monaco 14%. It finished Paris Saint Germain 1–2 Monaco.
Paris Saint Germain's rating gap decides it — Paris Saint Germain are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Paris Saint Germain's 69%. The draw at 17% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Paris Saint Germain at 69%?
Paris Saint Germain sit 259 points higher on our strength rating — 2129 to 1870. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,972 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 71–16–13.
Why only 69%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Paris Saint Germain's column. Across 10,893 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw only 17%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 16.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,064. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. The goals environment takes 1.4 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Paris Saint Germain average 7 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 259 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Paris Saint Germain have shed 65 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,698 such games vs 34.6% 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.
