Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Standard Liege 36%, the draw 29%, Charleroi 35%. It finished Standard Liege 0–1 Charleroi.
Anyone's game — Charleroi are the stronger side on our strength rating, and Charleroi's control of the ball is not enough to separate them. The draw at 29% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Standard Liege at 36%?
Home ground, against the rating. Charleroi sit 71 points higher on our strength rating — 1538 to 1609. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.5% of 10,374 such games.
Why only 36%?
Because Charleroi are the stronger side on our strength rating. Charleroi hold 7 more possession points (57 to 50 in recent games) across a 71-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 60–120-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,622 such games where the class table expected 40.6%.
Why the draw at 29%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.9 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,145.
What did we measure but not count?
Standard Liege come into this after a busy window — 8 arrivals and 13 departures over the summer. 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). Charleroi won 4 of the last 6 meetings with Standard Liege. The record is 4 wins for Charleroi, 0 draws and 2 wins for Standard Liege. These were 6 Jupiler Pro League games played between 6 April 2025 and 23 May 2026. Latest meeting: 23 May 2026 — Standard Liege 0–2 Charleroi. In 5,642 historical matches between similarly rated teams, visiting sides with the stronger head-to-head record won 28.1%.
