Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Lillestrom 48%, the draw 24%, Egnatia Rrogozhinë 28%. It finished Lillestrom 1–1 Egnatia Rrogozhinë.
Level sides, home ground swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and UEFA Europa League home advantage gives Lillestrom the lean. The draw at 24% is trimmed by a league that produces few draws.
Why Lillestrom in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1329 to 1311. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,502 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%). 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 4,426 games vs 44.9% across all 99,396 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 48%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 24% and Egnatia Rrogozhinë at 28%.
Why the draw at 24%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,882. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.1 points off.
What did we measure but not count?
Lillestrom (7 fully-tracked matches with us) and Egnatia Rrogozhinë (19) carry strength ratings anchored to the long-run European club ratings list, so the class read stands on far more than our own short records. 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.
