Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Cordoba 30%, the draw 31%, Girona 39%. It finished Cordoba 2–1 Girona.
Girona's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Girona are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover plus the early-season home fade on top give Girona the lean. The draw at 31% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Girona at 39%?
Girona sit 199 points higher on our strength rating — 1511 to 1710. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,064 such games. Girona sit -0.33 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 2,366 such games where the class table expected 36.3%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Cordoba's column. Across 10,629 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 25–24–51.
Why only 39%?
Cordoba sit -0.35 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 2,366 such games where the class table expected 36.3%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Cordoba 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 27,603. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
