Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave 1. FC Magdeburg 35%, the draw 33%, 1. FC Kaiserslautern 32%. It finished 1. FC Magdeburg 3–0 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
Home ground outweighs 1. FC Kaiserslautern's rating edge — 1. FC Kaiserslautern are the stronger side on our strength rating, but home ground gives 1. FC Magdeburg the lean. The draw at 33% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why 1. FC Magdeburg at 35%?
Home ground, against the rating. 1. FC Kaiserslautern sit 54 points higher on our strength rating — 1544 to 1598. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,621 such games.
Why only 35%?
Because 1. FC Kaiserslautern are the stronger side on our strength rating. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims 1. FC Magdeburg's column. Across 11,058 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 1. FC Kaiserslautern win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.1 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,201. The goals environment adds 3.7 points to the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
1. FC Magdeburg come into this after a busy window — 12 arrivals, 13 departures, and fewer of last season's regular starters still in the eleven. 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).
