Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Maritimo 29%, the draw 32%, Casa Pia 39%. It finished Maritimo 1–0 Casa Pia.
Casa Pia's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Casa Pia are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover plus the early-season home fade on top give Casa Pia the lean. The draw at 32% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Casa Pia at 39%?
Casa Pia sit 104 points higher on our strength rating — 1424 to 1528. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.2% of 13,019 such games. Casa Pia sit -0.48 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.7% of 2,328 such games where the class table expected 36.2%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Maritimo's column. Across 10,505 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% 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 40–28–32.
Why only 39%?
Maritimo hold 13 more possession points (50 to 37 in recent games) across a 104-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 8,562 such games where the class table expected 41.3%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Maritimo win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,507. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Maritimo are newly promoted — game 1 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen.
