Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Guingamp 45%, the draw 32%, Boulogne 23%. It finished Guingamp 1–0 Boulogne.
Level sides, Guingamp's control of the ball swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Guingamp's control of the ball gives Guingamp the lean. The draw at 32% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Guingamp in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1466 to 1420. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,461 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.8%). Guingamp hold 12 more possession points (60 to 48 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 47.9% of 5,161 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level.
Why only 45%?
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 Guingamp's column. Across 10,546 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% 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 Boulogne win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.2 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,076. 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?
Guingamp have shed 83 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,608 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar.
