Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Cardiff 16%, the draw 21%, West Ham 63%. It finished Cardiff 3–3 West Ham.
West Ham's strength gap drives a clear lead — We give West Ham 63% mainly because they sit 305 points higher on our strength rating, 1663 to 1358, and home advantage running weak across Championship sides adds a little more. The draw sits at 21%, near the usual 22% for a gap this size, as high-scoring recent games for both teams lower it slightly while the Championship's usual draw rate nudges it back up.
Why West Ham at 63%?
West Ham sit 305 points higher on our strength rating — 1663 to 1358. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge on the road won 65.7% of 6,318 such games. Championship home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 25.3% norm). Championship homes won 43.0% of 8,520 games vs 44.6% across all 108,387 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 18–22–60.
Why only 63%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 63% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 21% and Cardiff at 16%.
Why is the draw only 21%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 21.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,720. The goals environment takes 2.0 points off the draw. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 1.6 points.
