Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Eldense 40%, the draw 29%, Cadiz 31%. It finished Eldense 2–2 Cadiz.
Level sides, home ground holds off Cadiz's cold finishing due to recover — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Eldense's 40% is home ground and little else. The draw at 29% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Eldense in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1453 to 1423. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,483 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%).
Why only 40%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Cadiz sit -0.31 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.6% of 1,312 games, vs 28.9% for visitors finishing normally. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Eldense's column. Across 10,641 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 29%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,834. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Eldense are newly promoted — game 2 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen. Last 3 between them: Eldense 2 wins, 0 draws, Cadiz 1 win. Most recently Eldense 1–4 Cadiz, 2 years ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5045 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
