Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Anderlecht 47%, the draw 22%, PAOK 31%. It finished Anderlecht 3–2 PAOK.
Level sides, home ground swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and UEFA Europa League home advantage gives Anderlecht the lean. The draw at 22% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why Anderlecht in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1709 to 1741. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,779 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.1%). 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 only 47%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 22% and PAOK at 31%.
Why is the draw only 22%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.2 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 2.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Anderlecht on 4 days' rest, PAOK on 7. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 43,385 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
