Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sporting Gijon 28%, the draw 30%, Girona 42%. It finished Sporting Gijon 0–2 Girona.
Girona's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Girona are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their control of the ball plus the early-season home fade on top give Girona the lean. The draw at 30% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Girona at 42%?
Girona sit 127 points higher on our strength rating — 1585 to 1712. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,132 such games. Girona hold 12 more possession points (56 to 44 in recent games) across a 127-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,650 such games where the class table expected 41.3%. 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 10,911 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018. The 300 most similar past games finished 38–28–34.
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 30% and Sporting Gijon at 28%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Sporting Gijon win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,965. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. The control factor adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Sporting Gijon scored +0.31 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,827 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Girona are winless in their last 10 league games away from home (5 draws, 5 defeats), a run going back to January 2026. A long road winless run reads like a warning, but the receipts don't treat it as one: visitors on a 6+ league run without an away win won 25.7% of 13,621 games vs 24.9% class-expected — slightly more, not fewer. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
