Before kick-off Sirius gave 1. FC Magdeburg 50%, the draw 26%, Karlsruher SC 24%. It finished 1. FC Magdeburg 6–1 Karlsruher SC.
Strength edge puts Magdeburg slightly in front — We give Magdeburg 50% mainly because our strength rating has them a shade stronger, 1455 to 1386, though their scoring has run ahead of their chances and sides this hot tend to give some back, which helps Karlsruher SC. The draw sits at 26%, just under the usual 27% for a gap this size, nudged down by both teams' recent games averaging 3.0 goals and by that finishing streak.
Why 1. FC Magdeburg at 50%?

1. FC Magdeburg scored +0.50 goals per game beyond chance-quality — home sides this hot gave some of it back. Opponents of hot-finishing home sides won 28.7% of 1,643 games, vs 27.8% against normal finishing.

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). Karlsruher SC come into this after a busy window — 11 arrivals and 13 departures over the summer. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
