Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Rīgas FS 24%, the draw 25%, Jablonec 51%. It finished Rīgas FS 1–2 Jablonec.
Jablonec's rating gap outweighs Rīgas FS' home ground — Jablonec are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Jablonec's 51%. The draw at 25% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Jablonec at 51%?

Why only 51%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 51% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 25% and Rīgas FS at 24%.
Why the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 23.8%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,543. The goals environment adds 1.2 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
