Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Guimaraes 52%, the draw 30%, Casa Pia 18%. It finished Guimaraes 0–0 Casa Pia.
Guimaraes' rating edge, but the draw is in play — Guimaraes are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover on top gives Guimaraes the lean. The draw at 30% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Guimaraes at 52%?
Guimaraes sit 200 points higher on our strength rating — 1673 to 1473. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,784 such games. Guimaraes sit -0.61 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 38.9% of 2,420 such games where the class table expected 36.3%. The 300 most similar past games finished 57–27–16.
Why only 52%?
Casa Pia sit -0.59 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 38.9% of 2,420 such games where the class table expected 36.3%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Guimaraes's column. Across 10,972 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 is the draw second, ahead of the Casa Pia win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.1 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,180. The goals environment adds 3.1 points to the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Guimaraes average 10 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 200 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. Casa Pia 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).
