Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sheffield Utd 32%, the draw 27%, Wolves 41%. It finished Sheffield Utd 0–1 Wolves.
Wolves' rating edge outweighs Sheffield Utd's home ground — Wolves are the stronger side on our strength rating, and a weak Championship home advantage on top gives Wolves the lean. The draw at 27% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Wolves at 41%?
Wolves sit 157 points higher on our strength rating — 1539 to 1695. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,176 such games. 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 8,435 games vs 44.9% across all 100,162 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 30–28–42.
Why only 41%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 41% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Sheffield Utd at 32%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,203. The goals environment takes 2.5 points off the draw. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Wolves are winless in their last 21 league games away from home (6 draws, 15 defeats), a run going back to May 2025. A long road winless run reads like a warning, but the receipts don't treat it as one: visitors on a 6+ league run without an away win won 25.8% of 13,666 games vs 24.9% class-expected — slightly more, not fewer. Sheffield Utd on 4 days' rest, Wolves on 7. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 43,803 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
