Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sporting Gijon 53%, the draw 26%, Albacete 21%. It finished Sporting Gijon 2–1 Albacete.
Strength rating gives Sporting Gijon the edge — We give Sporting Gijon 53%, mainly because they sit 92 points higher on our strength rating, 1500 to 1408, though Albacete's cold finishing streak pulls slightly the other way, as runs like theirs have tended to bounce back. The draw sits at 26%, nudged up from its usual 25% because both sides' recent games have been low-scoring, averaging 2.3 goals.
Why Sporting Gijon at 53%?
Sporting Gijon sit 92 points higher on our strength rating — 1500 to 1408. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.7% of 13,358 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 55–31–14.
Why only 53%?
Albacete sit -0.83 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.7% of 2,529 such games where the class table expected 35.9%.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.9%. These teams' recent games average 2.3 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,744. The goals environment adds 2.8 points to the draw. The bounce-back factor takes 1.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Albacete have shed 120 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.1% of 9,610 such games vs 33.4% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Albacete are 1 game into a new manager (Joseba Etxeberria), appointed 5 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
