Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Paris FC 28%, the draw 30%, Lyon 42%. It finished Paris FC 0–0 Lyon.
Lyon's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Lyon are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their control of the ball plus the early-season home fade on top give Lyon the lean. The draw at 30% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Lyon at 42%?
Lyon sit 117 points higher on our strength rating — 1750 to 1867. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,164 such games. Lyon hold 9 more possession points (55 to 46 in recent games) across a 117-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,670 such games where the class table expected 41.3%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Paris FC'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. The 300 most similar past games finished 31–30–39.
Why only 42%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 42% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 30% and Paris FC at 28%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Paris FC win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 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. The control factor adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Paris FC scored +0.46 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,853 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Paris FC have gained 90 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,345 such games vs 40.6% 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.
