Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Ascoli 52%, the draw 30%, Sampdoria 18%. It finished Ascoli 2–0 Sampdoria.
Ascoli's stronger rating leads, with the draw live — We give Ascoli 52% mainly because our strength rating puts them 121 points higher, 1441 to 1320, though home advantage runs weak across Serie B and that pulls some of the edge back towards Sampdoria. The draw sits at 30%, starting from 25% for a gap this size and raised by Serie B's usual draw rate.
Why Ascoli at 52%?
Ascoli sit 121 points higher on our strength rating — 1441 to 1320. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.5% of 14,349 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 61–22–17.
Why only 52%?
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 (26.1% vs 30.0%). Serie B homes won 41.6% of 4,092 games vs 44.6% across all 108,018 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. 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 38.4% of 2,954 such games where the class table expected 35.6%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Sampdoria win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 25.0%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 27,207. Serie B runs draw-heavy, adding 7.0 points. The bounce-back factor takes 1.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Ascoli have averaged 7 percentage points more possession than Sampdoria in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Ascoli are newly promoted — game 9 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. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
