Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Pisa 31%, the draw 32%, Palermo 37%. It finished Pisa 3–3 Palermo.
Palermo's stronger rating gives them a slight edge — Palermo sit 133 points higher on our strength rating, 1590 to 1457, and home sides in Serie B tend to under-perform, so we give them 37% to Pisa's 31%. The draw sits at 32%, lifted by the high usual draw rate in Serie B but trimmed because both teams' recent games average 3.2 goals.
Why Palermo at 37%?
Palermo sit 133 points higher on our strength rating — 1590 to 1457. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.8% of 14,824 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 (26.1% vs 30.0%). Serie B homes won 41.6% of 4,099 games vs 44.6% across all 108,079 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 31–28–41.
Why only 37%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 37% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 32% and Pisa at 31%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Pisa win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 18,464. Serie B runs draw-heavy, adding 7.0 points. The goals environment takes 3.0 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Palermo have gained 83 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 40.0% of 11,956 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Pisa won 3 of the last 6 meetings with Palermo. The record is 3 wins for Pisa, 2 draws and 1 win for Palermo. These were 6 Serie B games played at both grounds between 15 October 2022 and 31 January 2025. Latest meeting: 31 January 2025 — Palermo 1–2 Pisa. In 5,557 historical matches between similarly rated teams, home sides with the stronger head-to-head record won 44.1%. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
