Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Genk 69%, the draw 19%, Kortrijk 12%. It finished Genk 3–0 Kortrijk.
Genk's rating gap decides it — Genk are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Genk's 69%. The draw at 19% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Genk at 69%?
Genk sit 216 points higher on our strength rating — 1596 to 1380. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge at home won 66.7% of 6,563 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 69–19–12.
Why only 69%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 69% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 19% and Kortrijk at 12%.
Why is the draw only 19%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.0%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,118.
What did we measure but not count?
Genk are unbeaten in their last 10 home Jupiler Pro League games: 5 wins and 5 draws. The run began on 1 March 2026. Last recorded home league defeat: 22 February 2026 — Genk 0–3 Standard Liege. Latest home league result: 13 September 2026 — Genk 1–1 Gent. Across 13,679 historical matches following an unbeaten home league run of at least six games, hosts won 56.0%, compared with 54.8% expected from team strength. Kortrijk are newly promoted — game 8 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides are said to struggle, but our rating already carries most of it: across 3,012 first-ten games since 2016 they won 26.8% where the rating expected 28.1% — inside the noise band, below it in six of the ten full seasons we hold and about level last season. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
