Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave FSV Mainz 05 48%, the draw 27%, Eintracht Frankfurt 25%. It finished FSV Mainz 05 1–3 Eintracht Frankfurt.
FSV Mainz 05's rating edge, but the draw is in play — FSV Mainz 05 are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of FSV Mainz 05's 48%. The draw at 27% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why FSV Mainz 05 at 48%?
FSV Mainz 05 sit 80 points higher on our strength rating — 1899 to 1818. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,454 such games.
Why only 48%?
Eintracht Frankfurt hold 11 more possession points (57 to 46 in recent games) across a 80-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,670 such games where the class table expected 41.3%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims FSV Mainz 05's column. Across 11,058 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Eintracht Frankfurt win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 4.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,178. 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?
FSV Mainz 05 have gained 66 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,345 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. FSV Mainz 05 are missing their first-choice keeper and 1 more regular starter — Robin Zentner, Dominik Kohr — about 27% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
