Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave FC Augsburg 22%, the draw 24%, Bayer Leverkusen 54%. It finished FC Augsburg 2–2 Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen's rating gap outweighs FC Augsburg's home ground — Bayer Leverkusen are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Bayer Leverkusen the lean. The draw at 24% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Bayer Leverkusen at 54%?
Bayer Leverkusen sit 220 points higher on our strength rating — 1788 to 2008. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 52.0% of 6,078 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims FC Augsburg'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. The 300 most similar past games finished 25–22–53.
Why only 54%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 54% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 24% and FC Augsburg at 22%.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.0%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,178. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Bayer Leverkusen average 19 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 220 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. FC Augsburg have gained 90 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. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
