Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Leganes 40%, the draw 31%, Granada CF 29%. It finished Leganes 3–2 Granada CF.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Granada CF's hot finishing due to cool gives Leganes the lean. The draw at 31% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Leganes in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1520 to 1569. Sides this close won 43.1% of 16,056 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%). Granada CF scored +0.31 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 28.8% of 1,513 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 40%?
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 Leganes's column. Across 11,218 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 Granada CF win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 1.9 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.1% of 18,230. The goals environment adds 3.5 points to the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
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). Granada CF have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting.
