Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Cordoba 43%, the draw 28%, Tenerife 29%. It finished Cordoba 3–2 Tenerife.
Home ground outweighs Tenerife's rating edge — Tenerife are the stronger side on our strength rating, but home ground plus Cordoba's control of the ball give Cordoba the lean. The draw at 28% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Cordoba at 43%?
Home ground, against the rating. Tenerife sit 43 points higher on our strength rating — 1406 to 1449. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.4% of 10,302 such games. Cordoba hold 13 more possession points (59 to 46 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 48.2% of 5,120 games, vs 43.9% when styles were level.
Why only 43%?
Because Tenerife are the stronger side on our strength rating. The rest is the draw at 28% and Tenerife at 29%.
Why the draw at 28%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.1%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,104.
What did we measure but not count?
Cordoba have shed 66 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.0% of 9,544 such games vs 33.4% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Cordoba come into this after a busy window — 14 arrivals and 15 departures over the summer. 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). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
