Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Excelsior 25%, the draw 23%, Twente 52%. It finished Excelsior 0–9 Twente.
Twente's stronger rating outweighs Excelsior's home advantage — We give Twente 52% mainly because they sit 182 points higher on our strength rating, 1679 to 1497, which outweighs the usual home advantage Excelsior start with. The draw begins at 25%, the usual rate for a gap this size, and drops to 23% because both sides' own recent games average 3.2 goals.
Why Twente at 52%?
Twente sit 182 points higher on our strength rating — 1679 to 1497. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge on the road won 50.5% of 7,209 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 24–27–49.
Why only 52%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 52% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 23% and Excelsior at 25%.
Why is the draw only 23%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 25.3%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,539. The goals environment takes 2.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Twente have averaged 17 percentage points more possession than Excelsior in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Excelsior scored +0.42 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 3,210 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.1% vs 42.3% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
