Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave West Ham 73%, the draw 19%, Derby 8%. It finished West Ham 3–0 Derby.
West Ham's rating gap decides it — West Ham are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of West Ham's 73%. The draw at 19% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why West Ham at 73%?
West Ham sit 343 points higher on our strength rating — 1805 to 1462. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.8% of 5,108 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 74–18–8.
Why not higher?
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 10,911 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 only 19%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 16.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,073. 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?
Derby are missing 4 regular starters — Lewis Travis, Samuel Szmodics, Carlton Morris — about 46% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing.
