Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sampdoria 32%, the draw 35%, Arezzo 33%. It finished Sampdoria 1–2 Arezzo.
Arezzo's stronger rating edges a very open game — Arezzo sit 149 points higher on our strength rating, 1470 to 1322, which puts them a touch ahead at 33% to Sampdoria's 32%, while Sampdoria's recent finishing below their chances pulls slightly the other way. The draw is the likeliest single result at 35%, starting from 28% for a gap this size and raised mainly by the usual draw rate in Serie B.
Why Arezzo at 33%?
Arezzo sit 149 points higher on our strength rating — 1470 to 1322. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.9% of 13,861 such games. Serie B home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (32.3% vs 25.4% norm) and away wins (26.0% vs 30.0%). Serie B homes won 41.6% of 4,079 games vs 44.6% across all 101,389 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 32–25–43.
Why only 33%?
Sampdoria sit -0.53 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.7% of 2,538 such games where the class table expected 35.9%.
Why is the draw the likeliest result?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.6%. These teams' recent games average 2.7 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.5% of 28,356. Serie B runs draw-heavy, adding 7.0 points. The goals environment adds 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Arezzo are newly promoted — game 7 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. Promoted sides are said to struggle, but our rating already carries most of it: across 3,012 first-ten games since 2016 they won 26.8% where the rating expected 28.1% — inside the noise band, below it in six of the ten full seasons we hold and about level last season.
