Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Hamrun Spartans 61%, the draw 22%, NSI Runavik 17%. It finished Hamrun Spartans 1–2 NSI Runavik.
Hamrun Spartans' rating edge carries it — Hamrun Spartans are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover on top gives Hamrun Spartans a clear lead. The draw at 22% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Hamrun Spartans at 61%?
Hamrun Spartans sit 159 points higher on our strength rating — 1169 to 1010. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.2% of 12,547 such games. Hamrun Spartans sit -0.32 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.7% of 2,303 such games where the class table expected 36.1%. The 300 most similar past games finished 49–26–25.
Why only 61%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 61% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 22% and NSI Runavik at 17%.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.1%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,684. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
NSI Runavik have gained 77 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 11,973 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. NSI Runavik have 17 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.
