Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sampdoria 35%, the draw 37%, Virtus Entella 28%. It finished Sampdoria 2–0 Virtus Entella.
Home advantage edges Sampdoria ahead, but the draw leads — Sampdoria's usual home advantage puts them narrowly in front at 35% to 28%, even though our strength rating has Virtus Entella 40 points higher and home sides across Serie B tend to under-perform. The draw is the likeliest single result at 37%, rising from a 29% starting point mainly because draws are common in Serie B, with a small lift from both sides' recent games averaging 2.6 goals.
Why Sampdoria at 35%?
Home ground, against the rating. Virtus Entella sit 40 points higher on our strength rating — 1352 to 1311. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.6% of 11,127 such games.
Why only 35%?
Because Virtus Entella are the stronger side on our strength rating. 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 4,102 games vs 44.6% across all 108,210 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw the likeliest result?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.0%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.4% of 30,357. 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?
Sampdoria sit -0.59 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. Sampdoria are 2 games into a new manager (L. D'Angelo), appointed 7 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. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
