Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Polessya 12%, the draw 16%, FC Copenhagen 72%. It finished Polessya 3–3 FC Copenhagen.
FC Copenhagen's rating gap outweighs Polessya's home ground — FC Copenhagen are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of FC Copenhagen's 72%. The draw at 16% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why FC Copenhagen at 72%?
FC Copenhagen sit 493 points higher on our strength rating — 1261 to 1755. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge on the road won 65.9% of 5,127 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 11–17–72.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 72% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 16% and Polessya at 12%.
Why is the draw only 16%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 17.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,701. The goals environment takes 1.5 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Polessya 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.
