Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Galatasaray 54%, the draw 24%, Göztepe 22%. It finished Galatasaray 3–2 Göztepe.
Galatasaray's rating edge carries it — Galatasaray are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Galatasaray's 54%. The draw at 24% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Galatasaray at 54%?
Galatasaray sit 135 points higher on our strength rating — 1833 to 1698. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,750 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 57–20–23.
Why only 54%?
Göztepe sit -0.41 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.7% of 2,392 such games where the class table expected 36.3%. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Galatasaray's column. Across 10,761 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.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,023. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Galatasaray average 24 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 135 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. Galatasaray have shed 117 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,671 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
