Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Rangers 50%, the draw 28%, FK Jablonec 22%. It finished Rangers 1–0 FK Jablonec.
Rangers' rating edge, but the draw is in play — Rangers are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Rangers' 50%. The draw at 28% is up from the usual 26.5% for a gap this size, as small adjustments add up.
Why Rangers at 50%?
Rangers sit 68 points higher on our strength rating — 1677 to 1610. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.6% of 10,362 such games.
Why only 50%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 50% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 28% and FK Jablonec at 22%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the FK Jablonec win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,595. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Rangers sit -0.54 goals per game under chance-quality. For home sides we could not receipt a bounce-back — the measured cells sit inside each other's noise bands — so this is noted and scores 0. Rangers have shed 85 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,627 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar.
