Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Swansea 43%, the draw 30%, Burnley 27%. It finished Swansea 3–1 Burnley.
Level sides, home ground counts for less here — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Swansea's 43% is home ground and little else. The draw at 30% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Swansea in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1532 to 1517. Sides this close won 45.7% of 14,634 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%).
Why only 43%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. 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 8,425 games vs 44.9% across all 100,077 — 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 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,797. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points. The goals environment adds 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Swansea have gained 67 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,345 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. 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 9,737 such games vs 34.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
