Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Hearts 13%, the draw 10%, Benfica 77%. It finished Hearts 1–1 Benfica.
Benfica's rating gap outweighs Hearts' home ground — Benfica are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Benfica's 77%. The draw at 10% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why Benfica at 77%?
Benfica sit 619 points higher on our strength rating — 1393 to 2012. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge on the road won 65.9% of 5,167 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 8–12–80.
Why not higher?
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 4,402 games vs 44.9% across all 98,968 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw only 10%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 13.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 16,897. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off. The goals environment takes 1.0 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Benfica average 6 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 619 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Benfica's last five: W-L-W-W-D — clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 44.8% of 2180 games when clearly hotter and 42.9% of 3988 when clearly colder. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
