Sirius · Why these numbers

Rīgas FS' rating gap decides it — Rīgas FS are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Rīgas FS' 62%. The draw at 22% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Rīgas FS at 62%?
Rīgas FS sit 269 points higher on our strength rating — 1325 to 1056. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.1% of 5,861 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 62–21–17.
Why only 62%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 62% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 22% and Glentoran at 16%.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 20.6%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,366. The goals environment adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Glentoran have 9 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.
