Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave KVC Westerlo 52%, the draw 24%, Antwerp 24%. It finished KVC Westerlo 5–1 Antwerp.
A slight rating edge to KVC Westerlo, little else — KVC Westerlo are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of KVC Westerlo's 52%. The draw at 24% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why KVC Westerlo at 52%?
KVC Westerlo sit 53 points higher on our strength rating — 1531 to 1478. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.3% of 10,384 such games.
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 24% and Antwerp at 24%.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,880. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
KVC Westerlo come into this after a busy window — 14 arrivals, 11 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). Antwerp have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
