Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Paris Saint Germain 76%, the draw 14%, Lyon 10%. It finished Paris Saint Germain 2–0 Lyon.
A big strength gap makes Paris Saint Germain clear favourites — We give Paris Saint Germain 76% mainly because they sit 247 points higher on our strength rating, 2017 to 1771, with the usual home advantage adding to it. The draw starts around 15.5%, the usual rate for a gap this size, and drops to 14% because both sides' own recent games average 3.6 goals.
Why Paris Saint Germain at 76%?
Paris Saint Germain sit 247 points higher on our strength rating — 2017 to 1771. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge at home won 79.6% of 5,964 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 73–16–11.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 76% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 14% and Lyon at 10%.
Why is the draw only 14%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 15.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,443. The goals environment takes 1.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Paris Saint Germain have averaged 12 percentage points more possession than Lyon in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Lyon have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. 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). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
