Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Reims 70%, the draw 19%, Guingamp 11%. It finished Reims 2–2 Guingamp.
Reims' rating gap decides it — Reims are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Reims' 70%. The draw at 19% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Reims at 70%?
Reims sit 273 points higher on our strength rating — 1739 to 1466. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,974 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 74–16–10.
Why not higher?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Reims's column. Across 10,911 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw only 19%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 16.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,965. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Guingamp have shed 74 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,701 such games vs 34.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Guingamp are winless in their last 10 league games away from home (3 draws, 7 defeats), a run going back to January 2026. A long road winless run reads like a warning, but the receipts don't treat it as one: visitors on a 6+ league run without an away win won 25.7% of 13,621 games vs 24.9% class-expected — slightly more, not fewer. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
