Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Burgos 47%, the draw 31%, Cordoba 22%. It finished Burgos 3–2 Cordoba.
Burgos' rating edge, but the draw is in play — Burgos are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Burgos' 47%. The draw at 31% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Burgos at 47%?
Burgos sit 131 points higher on our strength rating — 1648 to 1517. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,702 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 58–25–17.
Why only 47%?
Cordoba sit -0.36 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 38.8% of 2,351 such games where the class table expected 36.3%. Cordoba hold 14 more possession points (58 to 44 in recent games) across a 131-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,592 such games where the class table expected 41.3%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Cordoba win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.2 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,086. The goals environment adds 3.2 points to the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Burgos are unbeaten in their last 12 league games at home. Rolling home runs look imposing but sides on a 6+ run won 56.3% of 13,500 games vs 54.6% class-expected — and in our walked test the rating already carried it. Last 4 between them: Burgos 2 wins, 1 draw, Cordoba 1 win. Most recently Burgos 4–0 Cordoba, 5 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5039 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
