Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave West Ham 68%, the draw 21%, Wrexham 11%. It finished West Ham 6–0 Wrexham.
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 68%. The draw at 21% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why West Ham at 68%?
West Ham sit 268 points higher on our strength rating — 1810 to 1542. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.1% of 5,990 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 70–20–10.
Why only 68%?
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 8,424 games vs 44.9% across all 100,057 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 21%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,040. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Wrexham are missing 2 regular starters — Oliver Rathbone, George Thomason — about 26% 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. Last five: West Ham W-D-W-W-W, Wrexham D-L-W-D-D — West Ham are clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.7% of 2206 games when clearly hotter and 42.7% of 4031 when clearly colder.
