Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Lyon 71%, the draw 18%, Angers 11%. It finished Lyon 2–0 Angers.
Lyon's clear strength edge drives a one-sided forecast — We give Lyon 71% mainly because they sit 215 points higher on our strength rating, 1766 to 1551, and the usual home advantage adds to that. The draw sits at 18%, close to the usual draw rate of about 19% for a strength gap this size, with nothing else moving it.
Why Lyon at 71%?
Lyon sit 215 points higher on our strength rating — 1766 to 1551. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge at home won 66.9% of 7,085 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 71–19–10.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 71% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 18% and Angers at 11%.
Why is the draw only 18%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 18.9%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 27,278.
What did we measure but not count?
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). Out: Tyler Morton and Loïs Openda, important players, and Pavel Šulc, a rotation player. 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.
