Sporting Gijon's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Sporting Gijon are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Sporting Gijon's 49%. The draw at 28% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.

What did we measure but not count?

Promoted sides are said to struggle, but our rating already carries most of it: across 3,012 first-ten games since 2016 they won 26.8% where the rating expected 28.1% — inside the noise band, below it in six of the ten full seasons we hold and about level last season.
