Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Paris Saint Germain 50%, the draw 24%, Aston Villa 26%. It finished Paris Saint Germain 2–1 Aston Villa.
Paris Saint Germain's rating edge on neutral ground — Paris Saint Germain are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Paris Saint Germain's 50%. The draw at 24% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Paris Saint Germain at 50%?
Paris Saint Germain sit 154 points higher on our strength rating — 2183 to 2028. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.2% of 12,679 such games.
Why only 50%?
A final at a neutral venue: Paris Saint Germain lose the usual home lift, so the class read is re-centred. On grounds we detect as neutral, listed-home sides won 44.6% of 26,883 games vs 45.3% at real homes.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.4 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,891. The goals environment takes 2.2 points off the draw. Neutral ground adds 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Paris Saint Germain average 12 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 154 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. Aston Villa scored +0.73 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,751 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
