Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Werder Bremen 37%, the draw 27%, 1899 Hoffenheim 36%. It finished Werder Bremen 2–0 1899 Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim's stronger rating offset by Bremen's home advantage — Our strength rating has 1899 Hoffenheim 61 points higher, 1677 to 1617, and they tend to see more of the ball, but Werder Bremen's home advantage pulls it back to 37% against 36%, too close to separate. The draw sits at 27%, down from a usual 29% because both sides' recent games average 3.7 goals.
Why Werder Bremen at 37%?
Home ground, against the rating. 1899 Hoffenheim sit 61 points higher on our strength rating — 1677 to 1617. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.6% of 11,127 such games.
Why only 37%?
Because 1899 Hoffenheim are the stronger side on our strength rating. 1899 Hoffenheim hold 6 more possession points (55 to 49 in recent games) across a 61-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 60–120-point rating gap won 42.6% of 9,322 such games where the class table expected 40.5%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.0%. These teams' recent games average 3.7 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,505. The goals environment takes 2.5 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Werder Bremen come into this after a busy window — 14 arrivals, 12 departures, and fewer of last season's regular starters still in the eleven. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). Out: Jens Stage, an important player. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
