Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Tenerife 39%, the draw 32%, Leganes 29%. It finished Tenerife 2–0 Leganes.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Tenerife's 39% is home ground and little else. The draw at 32% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Tenerife in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1505 to 1536. Sides this close won 43.1% of 15,985 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%).
Why only 39%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Tenerife's column. Across 11,115 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.6% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.1 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Leganes win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.0 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.1% of 18,210. The goals environment adds 3.5 points to the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Tenerife are newly promoted — game 5 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. Leganes have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. 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).
