Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Maritimo 9%, the draw 17%, FC Porto 74%. It finished Maritimo 1–2 FC Porto.
FC Porto's rating gap outweighs Maritimo's home ground — FC Porto are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of FC Porto's 74%. The draw at 17% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why FC Porto at 74%?
FC Porto sit 469 points higher on our strength rating — 1363 to 1831. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge on the road won 65.7% of 5,860 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 7–17–76.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 74% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 17% and Maritimo at 9%.
Why is the draw only 17%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 17.6%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,118.
What did we measure but not count?
Maritimo are newly promoted — game 8 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides are said to struggle, but our rating already carries most of it: across 3,012 first-ten games since 2016 they won 26.8% where the rating expected 28.1% — inside the noise band, below it in six of the ten full seasons we hold and about level last season. Maritimo are 1 game into a new manager (M. van der Gaag), appointed 21 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
