Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Dinamo Zagreb 59%, the draw 22%, FC Thun 19%. It finished Dinamo Zagreb 2–2 FC Thun.
Dinamo Zagreb's rating edge carries it — Dinamo Zagreb are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Dinamo Zagreb's 59%. The draw at 22% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Dinamo Zagreb at 59%?
Dinamo Zagreb sit 145 points higher on our strength rating — 1744 to 1599. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,566 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 62–22–16.
Why only 59%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 59% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 22% and FC Thun at 19%.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.1%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,720. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Dinamo Zagreb have shed 69 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.8% of 9,530 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. FC Thun have 9 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.
