Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Le Havre 40%, the draw 31%, Angers 29%. It finished Le Havre 0–0 Angers.
Home ground outweighs Angers' rating edge — Angers are the stronger side on our strength rating, but home ground plus Le Havre's control of the ball give Le Havre the lean. The draw at 31% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Le Havre at 40%?
Home ground, against the rating. Angers sit 66 points higher on our strength rating — 1574 to 1639. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,621 such games. Le Havre hold 8 more possession points (48 to 40 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 47.9% of 5,211 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level.
Why only 40%?
Because Angers are the stronger side on our strength rating. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Le Havre'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, ahead of the Angers win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,797. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Le Havre come into this after a busy window — 11 arrivals, 15 departures, and fewer of last season's regular starters still in the eleven. 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).
