Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave West Ham 47%, the draw 30%, Wolves 23%. It finished West Ham 4–2 Wolves.
West Ham's rating edge, but the draw is in play — West Ham are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of West Ham's 47%. The draw at 30% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why West Ham at 47%?
West Ham sit 89 points higher on our strength rating — 1794 to 1706. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,408 such games.
Why only 47%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims West Ham's column. Across 10,876 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — 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 8,391 games vs 44.9% across all 99,641 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Wolves win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,942. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
West Ham have won the last 6 home meetings with Wolves. Streaks like this look decisive, but sides on a 3+ home run in a fixture won 58.9% of 4,891 such games vs 58.4% class-expected — the strength that built the streak is already in the rating. Wolves's last five: W-D-W-W-W — clearly the hotter side on recent results, and unbeaten in their last 7. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.7% of 2200 games when clearly hotter and 42.8% of 4017 when clearly colder.
