Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Millwall 41%, the draw 32%, Norwich 27%. It finished Millwall 3–0 Norwich.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Millwall's 41% is home ground and little else. The draw at 32% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Millwall in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1578 to 1557. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,483 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%).
Why only 41%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Millwall's column. Across 10,641 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018. Championship home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 24.9% norm). Championship homes won 43.0% of 8,367 games vs 44.9% across all 99,210 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Norwich win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,608. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points.
