Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Burnley 51%, the draw 30%, Bristol City 19%. It finished Burnley 1–2 Bristol City.
Burnley's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Burnley are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and their control of the ball on top gives Burnley the lean. The draw at 30% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Burnley at 51%?
Burnley sit 63 points higher on our strength rating — 1532 to 1470. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,414 such games. Burnley hold 6 more possession points (54 to 48 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 47.9% of 5,196 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level.
Why only 51%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Burnley's column. Across 10,911 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 8,403 games vs 44.9% across all 99,727 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Bristol City win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,965. 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?
Burnley have shed 96 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,701 such games vs 34.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Bristol City have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
