Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Anderlecht 60%, the draw 22%, Hammarby FF 18%. It finished Anderlecht 3–1 Hammarby FF.
Anderlecht's rating edge carries it — Anderlecht are the stronger side on our strength rating, and UEFA Europa League home advantage on top gives Anderlecht a clear lead. The draw at 22% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why Anderlecht at 60%?
Anderlecht sit 123 points higher on our strength rating — 1682 to 1559. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.2% of 12,618 such games. 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 4,379 games vs 44.9% across all 98,666 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 56–27–17.
Why only 60%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 60% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 22% and Hammarby FF at 18%.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,687. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off.
What did we measure but not count?
Anderlecht scored +0.36 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,719 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.0% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Hammarby FF have 15 fully-tracked matches with us — under our usual 25-game bar — but their strength rating is anchored to the long-run European club ratings list, which carries their wider competitive history into the number. Clubs from leagues we don't fully cover play too few tracked games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from published long-run club ratings instead of a blind first guess.
