Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave PAOK 71%, the draw 16%, Dynamo Kyiv 13%. It finished PAOK 2–0 Dynamo Kyiv.
PAOK's rating gap decides it — PAOK are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and UEFA Europa League home advantage on top makes it one-sided for PAOK. The draw at 16% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why PAOK at 71%?
PAOK sit 208 points higher on our strength rating — 1750 to 1541. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,896 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 67–20–13.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 71% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 16% and Dynamo Kyiv at 13%.
Why is the draw only 16%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,814. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off. The goals environment takes 1.5 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Dynamo Kyiv average 8 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 208 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. Dynamo Kyiv scored +0.49 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,719 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.0% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar.
