Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sudtirol 45%, the draw 37%, Cesena 18%. It finished Sudtirol 1–1 Cesena.
Sudtirol's control of the ball gives a slight lean — Our strength rating has almost nothing between the sides, so Sudtirol's edge comes mainly from usually controlling the ball, holding 49% possession to Cesena's 43%, though home advantage runs weak in Serie B, which pulls slightly towards Cesena. The draw sits high at 37%, lifted from a usual 27.5% by Serie B's high draw rate and both teams' low-scoring recent games.
Why Sudtirol in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1355 to 1331. Sides this close won 46.0% of 14,561 home games (draw 27.5%, visitors 26.6%). Sudtirol hold 6 more possession points (49 to 43 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 48.3% of 5,609 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level.
Why only 45%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. 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 second, ahead of the Cesena win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.3 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 19,781. Serie B runs draw-heavy, adding 7.0 points. The goals environment adds 3.8 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Sudtirol are unbeaten in their 5 home Serie B games this season: 2 wins and 3 draws. Season's home results covered: 22 August 2026 to 24 October 2026 (UTC dates). Latest home result: 24 October 2026 — Sudtirol 1–1 Sampdoria. Across 5,305 historical matches involving hosts unbeaten at home that season after at least five home games, those hosts won 59.3%, compared with 56.3% expected from team strength. Sudtirol come into this after a busy window — 16 arrivals, 20 departures, and fewer of last season's regular starters still in the eleven. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
