Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Benevento 49%, the draw 31%, Vicenza Virtus 20%. It finished Benevento 2–2 Vicenza Virtus.
Strength rating edges Benevento, Serie B keeps draws live — Benevento lead mainly because our strength rating has them a shade stronger, 1368 to 1306, though home sides in Serie B tend to under-perform, which pulls a little towards Vicenza Virtus. The draw starts at 27% for a gap this size, rises 7 points with Serie B's usual draw rate and drops 3 because both sides' recent games average 3.2 goals, leaving it at 31%.
Why Benevento at 49%?
Benevento sit 62 points higher on our strength rating — 1368 to 1306. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.3% of 10,400 such games.
Why only 49%?
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 4,073 games vs 44.6% across all 101,264 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Vicenza Virtus win?

What did we measure but not count?
Benevento 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. Vicenza Virtus are newly promoted — game 7 of their first ten at this level, where our rating knows them least. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
