Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Brann 51%, the draw 26%, Universitatea Cluj 23%. It finished Brann 3–1 Universitatea Cluj.
A slight rating edge to Brann, little else — Brann are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Brann's 51%. The draw at 26% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Brann at 51%?
Brann sit 90 points higher on our strength rating — 1536 to 1446. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.6% of 10,317 such games.
Why only 51%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 51% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 26% and Universitatea Cluj at 23%.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. 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?
Brann sit -0.39 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. Universitatea Cluj have 5 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.
