Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Nordsjælland 79%, the draw 12%, Valur Reykjavik 9%. It finished Nordsjælland 5–0 Valur Reykjavik.
Nordsjælland's rating gap decides it — Nordsjælland are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Nordsjælland's 79%. The draw at 12% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Nordsjælland at 79%?
FC Nordsjaelland sit 397 points higher on our strength rating — 1663 to 1266. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.8% of 5,061 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 79–11–10.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 79% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 12% and Valur Reykjavik at 9%.
Why is the draw only 12%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 11.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,767.
What did we measure but not count?
FC Nordsjaelland average 19 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 397 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. FC Nordsjaelland have gained 81 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.5% of 12,137 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar.
