Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave OH Leuven 47%, the draw 26%, RAAL La Louvière 27%. It finished OH Leuven 2–0 RAAL La Louvière.
Level sides, OH Leuven's control of the ball swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and OH Leuven's control of the ball gives OH Leuven the lean. The draw at 26% is what level sides usually produce.
Why OH Leuven in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1460 to 1461. Sides this close won 43.1% of 16,010 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%). OH Leuven hold 6 more possession points (46 to 40 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 47.9% of 5,225 games, vs 43.9% when styles were level.
Why only 47%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 26% and RAAL La Louvière at 27%.
Why the draw at 26%?
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 25,116.
What did we measure but not count?
RAAL La Louvière come into this after a busy window — 14 arrivals, 14 departures, and fewer of last season's regular starters still in the eleven. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). OH Leuven are 1 game into a new manager (T. Simons), appointed 6 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
