Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Annecy 41%, the draw 29%, Rodez 30%. It finished Annecy 2–0 Rodez.
Level sides, home ground swings it, even this early in the season — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Annecy's 41% is home ground and little else. The draw at 29% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Annecy in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1580 to 1625. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,781 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%).
Why only 41%?
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 Annecy'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 the draw at 29%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.9 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,779. Early-season fixtures add 2.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Rodez have gained 63 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.5% of 12,147 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Last 6 between them: Annecy 1 win, 1 draw, Rodez 4 wins. Most recently Annecy 1–2 Rodez, 3 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 28.0% of 5564 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
