Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Twente 74%, the draw 16%, PEC Zwolle 10%. It finished Twente 3–1 PEC Zwolle.
Twente's rating gap decides it — Twente are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Twente's 74%. The draw at 16% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Twente at 74%?
Twente sit 300 points higher on our strength rating — 1761 to 1461. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,930 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 78–14–8.
Why not higher?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Twente's column. Across 10,596 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw only 16%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 15.4%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,927. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. The goals environment takes 1.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Twente average 11 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 300 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. PEC Zwolle are winless in their last 9 visits to Twente. "Cursed ground" stories don't survive the receipts: winless visitors won 20.5% of 5,614 return visits vs 21.4% class-expected — the rating's own read already covers it. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
