Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Vestri 33%, the draw 27%, Rīgas FS 40%. It finished Vestri 1–1 Rīgas FS.
Rīgas FS' rating edge outweighs Vestri's home ground — Rīgas FS are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Rīgas FS' 40%. The draw at 27% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Rīgas FS at 40%?
Rīgas FS sit 106 points higher on our strength rating — 1236 to 1343. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.2% of 12,995 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 36–28–36.
Why only 40%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 40% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Vestri at 33%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. 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?
Rīgas FS's last five: W-W-W — clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.8% of 2177 games when clearly hotter and 42.9% of 3983 when clearly colder. Vestri have 3 fully-tracked matches with us — under our usual 25-game bar — but their strength rating is anchored to a conservative baseline from 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.
