Sirius · Why these numbers

FC Sion's rating gap decides it — FC Sion are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of FC Sion's 66%. The draw at 21% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why FC Sion at 66%?
FC Sion sit 217 points higher on our strength rating — 1603 to 1386. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,920 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 64–19–17.
Why only 66%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 66% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 21% and FC Noah at 13%.
Why is the draw only 21%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.6%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,543. The goals environment adds 1.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
FC Noah average 10 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 217 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 Sion have 13 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.
