Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and GO Ahead Eagles' 45% is home ground and little else. The draw at 26% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why GO Ahead Eagles in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1576 to 1533. Sides this close won 45.7% of 14,634 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%).
Why only 45%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims GO Ahead Eagles's column.
