Sirius · Why these numbers

Before kick-off Sirius gave SC Freiburg 57%, the draw 24%, Borussia Mönchengladbach 19%. It finished SC Freiburg 5–0 Borussia Mönchengladbach.

SC Freiburg's rating edge carries it — SC Freiburg are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of SC Freiburg's 57%. The draw at 24% is held down by a high-scoring environment.

Why SC Freiburg at 57%?

SC Freiburg sit 132 points higher on our strength rating — 1910 to 1778. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,797 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 58–22–20.

Why only 57%?

Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims SC Freiburg's column.
