Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave 1899 Hoffenheim 31%, the draw 27%, Borussia Dortmund 42%. It finished 1899 Hoffenheim 2–3 Borussia Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund's rating edge outweighs 1899 Hoffenheim's home ground — Borussia Dortmund are the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Borussia Dortmund the lean. The draw at 27% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Borussia Dortmund at 42%?
Borussia Dortmund sit 194 points higher on our strength rating — 1800 to 1994. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,132 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims 1899 Hoffenheim'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. The 300 most similar past games finished 29–26–45.
Why only 42%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 42% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and 1899 Hoffenheim at 31%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,073. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
1899 Hoffenheim average 6 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 194 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. 1899 Hoffenheim have shed 73 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. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
