Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Swansea 37%, the draw 34%, Wrexham 29%. It finished Swansea 0–0 Wrexham.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Swansea's 37% is home ground and little else. The draw at 34% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Swansea in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1541 to 1542. Sides this close won 43.1% of 15,887 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%).
Why only 37%?
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 Swansea'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 Wrexham win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.3 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,173. The goals environment adds 3.7 points to the draw. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Swansea have gained 80 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,294 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Swansea are missing 2 regular starters — Benjamin Cabango, Cameron Burgess — about 29% of their usual starting-XI weight. Our measured receipt covers one-sided absences only, and the picture here isn't one-sided — both squads are short. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
