Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Juve Stabia 48%, the draw 37%, Cesena 15%. It finished Juve Stabia 1–1 Cesena.
Juve Stabia's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Juve Stabia are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and their control of the ball on top gives Juve Stabia the lean. The draw at 37% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Juve Stabia at 48%?
Juve Stabia sit 61 points higher on our strength rating — 1450 to 1389. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,470 such games. Juve Stabia hold 8 more possession points (57 to 49 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 47.9% of 5,223 games, vs 43.9% when styles were level.
Why only 48%?
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 4,052 games vs 44.9% across all 100,280 — 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 Juve Stabia's column. Across 11,172 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% 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 Cesena 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 27,846. 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?
Juve Stabia come into this after a busy window — 17 arrivals and 15 departures over the summer. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). Cesena have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
