Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Kortrijk 37%, the draw 29%, Antwerp 34%. It finished Kortrijk 0–3 Antwerp.
Level sides, home ground holds off Antwerp's cold finishing due to recover — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Kortrijk's 37% is home ground and little else. The draw at 29% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Kortrijk in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1556 to 1583. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,783 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.1%).
Why only 37%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Antwerp sit -0.47 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.5% of 1,302 games, vs 28.9% for visitors finishing normally. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Kortrijk's column. Across 10,563 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 the draw at 29%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,785. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Kortrijk have gained 166 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.5% of 12,153 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Kortrijk are newly promoted — game 2 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
