Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Erzurumspor FK 31%, the draw 29%, Samsunspor 40%. It finished Erzurumspor FK 1–0 Samsunspor.
Samsunspor's rating edge outweighs Erzurumspor FK's home ground — Samsunspor are the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives Samsunspor the lean. The draw at 29% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Samsunspor at 40%?
Samsunspor sit 176 points higher on our strength rating — 1473 to 1649. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.2% of 13,207 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Erzurumspor FK's column. Across 11,218 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. The 300 most similar past games finished 29–29–42.
Why only 40%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 40% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 29% and Erzurumspor FK at 31%.
Why the draw at 29%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,162. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Samsunspor have averaged 13 percentage points more possession than Erzurumspor FK in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Samsunspor scored +0.51 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off.
