Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Nice 33%, the draw 27%, Rennes 40%. It finished Nice 5–2 Rennes.
Rennes' stronger rating gives them a slight lean — Rennes sit 140 points higher on our strength rating, 1773 to 1634, which puts them in front at 40% even though Nice have the usual home advantage. The draw sits at 27%, close to the usual rate for a gap this size, nudged down slightly because both sides' own recent games average 2.9 goals.
Why Rennes at 40%?
Rennes sit 140 points higher on our strength rating — 1773 to 1634. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.8% of 14,838 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 23–28–49.
Why only 40%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 40% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Nice at 33%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.9 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 27,237.
What did we measure but not count?
Nice are unbeaten in their last 8 home Ligue 1 games: 3 wins and 5 draws. The run began on 12 April 2026. Last recorded home league defeat: 21 March 2026 — Nice 0–4 Paris Saint Germain. Latest home league result: 11 October 2026 — Nice 2–1 Strasbourg. Across 16,139 historical matches following an unbeaten home league run of at least six games, hosts won 55.4%, compared with 54.5% expected from team strength. Nice 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.
