Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Zulte Waregem 39%, the draw 31%, Charleroi 30%. It finished Zulte Waregem 0–1 Charleroi.
Level sides, home ground holds off Charleroi's control of the ball — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Zulte Waregem's 39% is home ground and little else. The draw at 31% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Zulte Waregem in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1666 to 1653. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,644 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%).
Why only 39%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Charleroi hold 8 more possession points (55 to 47 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.3% across 5,591 games, from 43.9% when styles were level. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Zulte Waregem's column. Across 11,115 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.6% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Charleroi win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.7 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,820. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Zulte Waregem have gained 188 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,360 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Charleroi have gained 73 strength-rating points over their last 10 games.
