Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Gornik Zabrze 10%, the draw 15%, Fenerbahçe 75%. It finished Gornik Zabrze 1–1 Fenerbahçe.
Fenerbahçe's rating gap outweighs Gornik Zabrze's home ground — Fenerbahçe are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Fenerbahçe's 75%. The draw at 15% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Fenerbahçe at 75%?
Fenerbahçe sit 526 points higher on our strength rating — 1421 to 1946. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge on the road won 65.8% of 5,145 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 8–13–79.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 75% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 15% and Gornik Zabrze at 10%.
Why is the draw only 15%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 14.7%. Not enough recent scoring data to set the goals dial — the draw stays at the class table's rate.
What did we measure but not count?
Gornik Zabrze have 5 fully-tracked matches with us — under our usual 25-game bar — but their strength rating is anchored to the long-run European club ratings list, which carries their wider competitive history into the number. Clubs from leagues we don't fully cover play too few tracked games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from published long-run club ratings instead of a blind first guess.
