Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Shamrock Rovers 61%, the draw 20%, Egnatia Rrogozhinë 19%. It finished Shamrock Rovers 3–1 Egnatia Rrogozhinë.
Shamrock Rovers' rating edge carries it — Shamrock Rovers are the stronger side on our strength rating, and UEFA Europa League home advantage on top gives Shamrock Rovers a clear lead. The draw at 20% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why Shamrock Rovers at 61%?
Shamrock Rovers sit 130 points higher on our strength rating — 1419 to 1288. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.2% of 12,635 such games. UEFA Europa League home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (22.8% vs 24.9% norm). UEFA Europa League homes won 47.5% of 4,388 games vs 44.9% across all 98,747 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 54–24–22.
Why only 61%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 61% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 20% and Egnatia Rrogozhinë at 19%.
Why is the draw only 20%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,834. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off. The goals environment takes 1.9 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Shamrock Rovers have shed 116 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,573 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Egnatia Rrogozhinë have 16 fully-tracked matches with us — under our usual 25-game bar — but their strength rating is anchored to the long-run European club ratings list, which carries their wider competitive history into the number. Clubs from leagues we don't fully cover play too few tracked games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from published long-run club ratings instead of a blind first guess.
