Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Gent 37%, the draw 29%, Anderlecht 34%. It finished Gent 4–0 Anderlecht.
Home advantage gives Gent a slight edge — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, Gent's usual home advantage puts them narrowly in front at 37%, though Anderlecht's control of the ball, 59 to 47 in possession in recent games, pulls the other way. The draw starts at 27% for sides this level and rises to 29%, nudged up by that ball control and typical-scoring recent games.
Why Gent in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1593 to 1630. Sides this close won 42.4% of 15,614 home games (draw 27.2%, visitors 30.4%).
Why only 37%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Anderlecht hold 12 more possession points (59 to 47 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 39.7% across 5,924 games, from 44.0% when styles were level. Gent scored +0.37 goals per game beyond chance-quality — home sides this hot gave some of it back. Opponents of hot-finishing home sides won 28.7% of 1,654 games, vs 27.8% against normal finishing.
Why the draw at 29%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.4% of 30,316. The control factor adds 1.4 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Gent have gained 67 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 40.0% of 11,940 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Anderlecht won 4 of the last 6 meetings with Gent. The record is 4 wins for Anderlecht, 1 draw and 1 win for Gent. These were 5 Jupiler Pro League games and 1 Belgian Cup game played at both grounds between 27 April 2025 and 10 May 2026. Latest meeting: 10 May 2026 — Gent 1–1 Anderlecht. In 6,078 historical matches between similarly rated teams, visiting sides with the stronger head-to-head record won 28.1%. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
