Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Wrexham 41%, the draw 32%, Burnley 27%. It finished Wrexham 1–1 Burnley.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Wrexham's 41% is home ground and little else. The draw at 32% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Wrexham in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1542 to 1517. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,615 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 Wrexham's column. Across 11,026 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% 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 8,415 games vs 44.9% across all 99,977 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Burnley 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 27,777. 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 104 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,723 such games vs 34.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Wrexham are missing 2 regular starters — Oliver Rathbone, George Thomason — about 32% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing.
