Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Mantova 39%, the draw 32%, Pisa 29%. It finished Mantova 2–2 Pisa.
Level sides, home ground holds off Pisa's cold finishing due to recover — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Mantova's 39% is home ground and little else. The draw at 32% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Mantova in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1490 to 1469. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,695 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%).
Why only 39%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Pisa sit -0.72 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.4% of 1,378 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally. 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 4,058 games vs 44.9% across all 100,474 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Pisa win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,298. Serie B runs draw-heavy, adding 7.3 points. The goals environment takes 2.9 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Pisa are 6 games into a new manager (P. Bianco), appointed 50 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. Mantova on 7 days' rest, Pisa on 4. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 43,922 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
