Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave FC Schalke 04 40%, the draw 26%, SV Elversberg 34%. It finished FC Schalke 04 0–0 SV Elversberg.
Home ground outweighs SV Elversberg's rating edge — SV Elversberg are the stronger side on our strength rating, but home ground plus SV Elversberg's hot finishing due to cool give FC Schalke 04 the lean. The draw at 26% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why FC Schalke 04 at 40%?
Home ground, against the rating. SV Elversberg sit 96 points higher on our strength rating — 1660 to 1756. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,669 such games. SV Elversberg scored +0.97 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 28.8% of 1,512 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 40%?
Because SV Elversberg are the stronger side on our strength rating. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims FC Schalke 04's column. Across 11,218 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 the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 3.7 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,298. The goals environment takes 2.4 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
FC Schalke 04 have gained 69 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,419 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. SV Elversberg have gained 106 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
