Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Castellón 44%, the draw 30%, Albacete 26%. It finished Castellón 2–0 Albacete.
Castellón's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Castellón are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Castellón's 44%. The draw at 30% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Castellón at 44%?
Castellón sit 83 points higher on our strength rating — 1642 to 1559. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,431 such games.
Why only 44%?
Albacete sit -0.65 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.4% of 1,350 games, vs 29.1% 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 Castellón'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 Albacete win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.6%. 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 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Castellón average 17 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 83 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Last five: Castellón D-L-W-D-W, Albacete W-L-L-L-L — Castellón are clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.7% of 2201 games when clearly hotter and 42.8% of 4025 when clearly colder.
