Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Lorient 44%, the draw 28%, Toulouse 28%. It finished Lorient 2–2 Toulouse.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Lorient's 44% is home ground and little else. The draw at 28% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Lorient in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1751 to 1731. Sides this close won 45.7% of 14,634 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%).
Why only 44%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Lorient's column. Across 11,058 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, level with the Toulouse win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,048. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last 6 between them: Lorient 0 wins, 3 draws, Toulouse 3 wins. Most recently Toulouse 1–0 Lorient, 6 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 28.1% of 5628 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
