Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Žilina 46%, the draw 24%, HNK Hajduk Split 30%. It finished Žilina 2–1 HNK Hajduk Split.
Level sides, home ground swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and UEFA Europa League home advantage gives Žilina the lean. The draw at 24% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why Žilina in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1459 to 1508. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,697 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.1%). UEFA Europa League home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (22.8% vs 24.9% norm). UEFA Europa League homes won 47.5% of 4,364 games vs 44.9% across all 98,173 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 46%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 24% and HNK Hajduk Split at 30%.
Why the draw at 24%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.9 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.5% of 24,564. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off.
What did we measure but not count?
Žilina have shed 110 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,504 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar.
