Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Catanzaro 55%, the draw 24%, Sudtirol 21%. It finished Catanzaro 2–2 Sudtirol.
Catanzaro's rating edge carries it — Catanzaro are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Catanzaro's 55%. The draw at 24% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Catanzaro at 55%?
Catanzaro sit 172 points higher on our strength rating — 1558 to 1386. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.2% of 12,695 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 62–20–18.
Why only 55%?
Sudtirol sit -0.59 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 2,344 such games where the class table expected 36.3%.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,785.
What did we measure but not count?
Catanzaro average 14 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 172 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Catanzaro scored +0.57 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,760 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
