Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Estrela 30%, the draw 31%, Famalicao 39%. It finished Estrela 2–2 Famalicao.
Famalicao's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Famalicao are the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Famalicao the lean. The draw at 31% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Famalicao at 39%?
Famalicao sit 193 points higher on our strength rating — 1496 to 1689. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,132 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Estrela's column. Across 10,911 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 28–25–47.
Why only 39%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 39% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 31% and Estrela at 30%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Estrela win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,731. 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?
Famalicao average 12 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 193 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. Estrela 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).
