Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Jagiellonia 78%, the draw 14%, Saburtalo 8%. It finished Jagiellonia 4–0 Saburtalo.
Jagiellonia's rating gap decides it — Jagiellonia are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and UEFA Europa League home advantage on top makes it one-sided for Jagiellonia. The draw at 14% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why Jagiellonia at 78%?
Jagiellonia sit 344 points higher on our strength rating — 1617 to 1274. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.8% of 5,070 such games. 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 4,414 games vs 44.9% across all 99,157 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 75–16–9.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 78% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 14% and Saburtalo at 8%.
Why is the draw only 14%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 15.4%. These teams' recent games average 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,595. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off.
What did we measure but not count?
Jagiellonia on 6 days' rest, Saburtalo on 9. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 43,443 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
