Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Almeria 54%, the draw 27%, Cadiz 19%. It finished Almeria 3–2 Cadiz.
Almeria's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Almeria are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Almeria's 54%. The draw at 27% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Almeria at 54%?
Almeria sit 185 points higher on our strength rating — 1608 to 1423. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,784 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 56–24–20.
Why only 54%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Almeria's column. Across 10,972 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Cadiz win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,753. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.3 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Cadiz come into this after a busy window — 11 arrivals, 17 departures, and fewer of last season's regular starters still in the eleven. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). Last 6 between them: Almeria 3 wins, 2 draws, Cadiz 1 win. Most recently Cadiz 1–2 Almeria, 7 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5078 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
