Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Arezzo 44%, the draw 38%, Palermo 18%. It finished Arezzo 2–3 Palermo.
Arezzo's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Arezzo are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Arezzo's 44%. The draw at 38% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Arezzo at 44%?
Arezzo sit 93 points higher on our strength rating — 1705 to 1612. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.6% of 10,398 such games.
Why only 44%?
Serie B home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (32.2% vs 24.9% norm) and away wins (26.1% vs 30.2%). Serie B homes won 41.7% of 4,028 games vs 44.9% across all 99,542 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Arezzo's column. Across 10,823 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.8% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Palermo win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,699. Serie B runs draw-heavy, adding 7.3 points. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Arezzo are newly promoted — game 2 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides ran below their rating in nine of the last ten seasons — 26.5% wins in their first ten games where the rating expected 30.0% (2,793 games since 2012), fading but still visible through game nineteen.
