Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Antwerp 18%, the draw 16%, Union St. Gilloise 66%. It finished Antwerp 0–2 Union St. Gilloise.
Union St. Gilloise's rating gap outweighs Antwerp's home ground — Union St. Gilloise are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Union St. Gilloise's 66%. The draw at 16% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Union St. Gilloise at 66%?
Union St. Gilloise sit 407 points higher on our strength rating — 1575 to 1982. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge on the road won 65.9% of 5,260 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 19–17–64.
Why only 66%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 66% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 16% and Antwerp at 18%.
Why is the draw only 16%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 17.3%. These teams' recent games average 3.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,298. The goals environment takes 1.5 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Antwerp have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. 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). Antwerp are 6 games into a new manager (Marvin Compper), appointed 41 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.
