Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Pafos 55%, the draw 26%, HNK Hajduk Split 19%. It finished Pafos 4–0 HNK Hajduk Split.
Pafos' rating edge carries it — Pafos are the stronger side on our strength rating, and UEFA Europa League home advantage on top gives Pafos a clear lead. The draw at 26% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Pafos at 55%?
Pafos sit 107 points higher on our strength rating — 1627 to 1520. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.2% of 12,618 such games. UEFA Europa League home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (22.8% vs 24.9% norm). UEFA Europa League homes won 47.5% of 4,379 games vs 44.9% across all 98,666 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 57–25–18.
Why only 55%?
HNK Hajduk Split hold 6 more possession points (46 to 40 in recent games) across a 107-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.7% of 8,548 such games where the class table expected 41.3%.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 1.9 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,034. The goals environment adds 2.9 points to the draw. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off.
