Sirius · Why these numbers
Hamburger SV 40% · Draw 26% · Borussia Mönchengladbach 34%
Home advantage edges Hamburger SV in front — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, the usual home advantage gives Hamburger SV 40% to 34%, though Mönchengladbach's greater share of the ball pulls back the other way. The draw sits at 26%, just below the usual 27% for evenly matched sides, as both teams' recent games average 3.6 goals.
Why Hamburger SV in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1554 to 1577. Sides this close won 42.5% of 15,673 home games (draw 27.2%, visitors 30.4%).
Why only 40%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Borussia Mönchengladbach hold 5 more possession points (48 to 43 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 39.7% across 5,966 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why the draw at 26%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.1% of 18,743. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. The control factor adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Hamburger SV sit -0.32 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. Hamburger SV have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. 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). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
