Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Rennes 58%, the draw 25%, Auxerre 17%. It finished Rennes 4–1 Auxerre.
Rennes' rating edge carries it — Rennes are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their control of the ball on top gives Rennes a clear lead. The draw at 25% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Rennes at 58%?
Rennes sit 117 points higher on our strength rating — 1748 to 1631. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.7% of 13,339 such games. Rennes hold 10 more possession points (54 to 44 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 60–120-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,622 such games where the class table expected 40.6%. The 300 most similar past games finished 57–22–21.
Why only 58%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Rennes's column. Across 11,278 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.7%, with draws up 1.4 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,880. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Auxerre scored +0.63 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,825 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.4% vs 42.4% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Out: Bryan Okoh, an important player, Marvin Senaya, a rotation player, and Christ Makosso, 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.
