Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Genk 51%, the draw 26%, Standard Liege 23%. It finished Genk 2–1 Standard Liege.
Genk's higher strength rating gives them the edge — We give Genk 51% mainly because they sit 77 points higher on our strength rating, 1616 to 1539, with the usual home advantage adding to that. The draw sits at 26%, close to the usual rate for a gap this size, nudged down slightly because both teams' own recent games average 3.0 goals.
Why Genk at 51%?
Genk sit 77 points higher on our strength rating — 1616 to 1539. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.1% of 11,082 such games.
Why only 51%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 51% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 26% and Standard Liege at 23%.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 27,185.
What did we measure but not count?
Genk are unbeaten in their last 11 home Jupiler Pro League games: 6 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: 10 October 2026 — Genk 3–0 Kortrijk. Across 16,107 historical matches following an unbeaten home league run of at least six games, hosts won 55.4%, compared with 54.5% expected from team strength. 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).
