Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave VfL Osnabrück 31%, the draw 27%, Eintracht Braunschweig 42%. It finished VfL Osnabrück 3–1 Eintracht Braunschweig.
Eintracht Braunschweig's rating edge outweighs VfL Osnabrück's home ground — Eintracht Braunschweig are the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Eintracht Braunschweig the lean. The draw at 27% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Eintracht Braunschweig at 42%?
Eintracht Braunschweig sit 108 points higher on our strength rating — 1325 to 1432. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,146 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims VfL Osnabrück's column.

The 300 most similar past games finished 45–22–33.
Why only 42%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 42% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and VfL Osnabrück at 31%.
