Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Norwich 64%, the draw 20%, Watford 16%. It finished Norwich 3–2 Watford.
Norwich's strength edge outweighs a weak home factor — Norwich lead mainly because our strength rating puts them 179 points higher, 1451 to 1273, though Championship home sides tend to under-perform, which pulls a little back towards Watford. The draw sits at 20%, close to the usual 19.8% for a gap this size, nudged up by the Championship's draw rate and down by Watford's finishing streak.
Why Norwich at 64%?
Norwich sit 179 points higher on our strength rating — 1451 to 1273. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge at home won 66.9% of 7,073 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 60–24–16.
Why only 64%?
Championship home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 25.4% norm). Championship homes won 42.9% of 8,500 games vs 44.6% across all 108,210 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. Watford sit -0.37 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.5% of 2,970 such games where the class table expected 35.6%.
Why is the draw only 20%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.8%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 27,247. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 1.6 points. The bounce-back factor takes 1.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Norwich have averaged 6 percentage points more possession than Watford in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Norwich scored +0.51 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 3,194 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.0% vs 42.3% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
