Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sporting Gijon 38%, the draw 30%, Burgos 32%. It finished Sporting Gijon 1–0 Burgos.
Home ground outweighs Burgos' rating edge — Burgos are the stronger side on our strength rating, but home ground plus Burgos' hot finishing due to cool give Sporting Gijon the lean. The draw at 30% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Sporting Gijon at 38%?
Home ground, against the rating. Burgos sit 78 points higher on our strength rating — 1562 to 1640. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 32.9% of 10,532 such games. Burgos scored +0.41 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 29.1% of 1,453 games, vs 28.9% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 38%?
Because Burgos are the stronger side on our strength rating. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Sporting Gijon's column. Across 10,693 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.
Why the draw at 30%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,635. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw. The cool-off factor takes 1.9 points off the draw.
