Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Glentoran 30%, the draw 27%, Rīgas FS 43%. It finished Glentoran 1–2 Rīgas FS.
Rīgas FS' rating gap outweighs Glentoran's home ground — Rīgas FS are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Rīgas FS' 43%. The draw at 27% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Rīgas FS at 43%?
Rīgas FS sit 258 points higher on our strength rating — 1062 to 1319. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 52.0% of 5,963 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 32–26–42.
Why only 43%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 43% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Glentoran at 30%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 25.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,356. The goals environment adds 1.3 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Glentoran have 8 fully-tracked matches with us — under our usual 25-game bar — but their strength rating is anchored to a conservative baseline from 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.
