Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Universitatea Cluj 35%, the draw 29%, Brann 36%. It finished Universitatea Cluj 2–2 Brann.
Brann's rating edge outweighs Universitatea Cluj's home ground — Brann are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover on top gives Brann the lean. The draw at 29% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Brann at 36%?
Brann sit 90 points higher on our strength rating — 1446 to 1536. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 32.9% of 10,428 such games. Brann sit -0.39 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.6% of 1,282 games, vs 28.9% for visitors finishing normally. The 300 most similar past games finished 45–26–29.
Why only 36%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 36% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 29% and Universitatea Cluj at 35%.
Why the draw at 29%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. Not enough recent scoring data to set the goals dial — the draw stays at the class table's rate.
What did we measure but not count?
Universitatea Cluj have 4 fully-tracked matches with us — under our usual 25-game bar — but their strength rating is anchored to the long-run European club ratings list, which carries their wider competitive history into the number. Clubs from leagues we don't fully cover play too few tracked games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from published long-run club ratings instead of a blind first guess.
