Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Real Sociedad II 27%, the draw 31%, Castellón 42%. It finished Real Sociedad II 0–1 Castellón.
Castellón's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Castellón are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover plus the early-season home fade on top give Castellón the lean. The draw at 31% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Castellón at 42%?
Castellón sit 166 points higher on our strength rating — 1464 to 1630. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,042 such games. Castellón sit -0.31 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 38.7% of 2,340 such games where the class table expected 36.2%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Real Sociedad II's column. Across 10,546 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018. The 300 most similar past games finished 34–25–41.
Why only 42%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 42% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 31% and Real Sociedad II at 27%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Real Sociedad II win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,554. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Castellón average 8 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 166 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here.
