Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Dunkerque 43%, the draw 26%, Metz 31%. It finished Dunkerque 1–1 Metz.
Home advantage gives Dunkerque a slight lean — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, 1462 to 1492, the usual home advantage is what puts Dunkerque in front at 43%, even though that small rating gap slightly favours Metz. The draw sits at 26%, just under the usual 27% for sides this level, nudged down because both teams' recent games average 3.0 goals.
Why Dunkerque in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1462 to 1492. Sides this close won 42.5% of 15,604 home games (draw 27.2%, visitors 30.4%).
Why only 43%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 26% and Metz at 31%.
Why the draw at 26%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 27,149.
What did we measure but not count?
In our recorded league results, Metz are winless in their last 15 away games: 6 draws and 9 defeats. The run began on 23 November 2025. Last recorded away league win: 2 November 2025 — Nantes 0–2 Metz. Latest recorded away league result: 12 October 2026 — Dijon 4–2 Metz. Across 14,183 historical matches involving visitors with at least six consecutive winless away league games, those visitors won 24.4%, compared with 24.1% expected from team strength. Dunkerque come into this after a busy window — 13 arrivals, 19 departures, and fewer of last season's regular starters still in the eleven. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
