Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave FC Porto 70%, the draw 22%, Moreirense 8%. It finished FC Porto 2–1 Moreirense.
FC Porto's rating gap decides it — FC Porto are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of FC Porto's 70%. The draw at 22% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why FC Porto at 70%?
FC Porto sit 408 points higher on our strength rating — 1982 to 1574. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.8% of 5,107 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 73–19–8.
Why not higher?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims FC Porto's column. Across 10,893 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.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 17.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.2 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,171. The goals environment adds 2.3 points to the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
FC Porto average 7 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 408 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 Porto are unbeaten in their last 22 league games at home. Rolling home runs look imposing but sides on a 6+ run won 56.3% of 13,564 games vs 54.6% class-expected — and in our walked test the rating already carried it. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
