Sirius · Why these numbers

Before kick-off Sirius gave Pafos 76%, the draw 16%, Dinamo Tirana 8%. It finished Pafos 2–2 Dinamo Tirana.

Pafos' rating gap decides it — Pafos are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Pafos' 76%. The draw at 16% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.

Why Pafos at 76%?

Pafos sit 348 points higher on our strength rating — 1630 to 1282. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.7% of 5,090 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 75–16–9.

Why not higher?

No scored evidence points the other way. 76% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 16% and Dinamo Tirana at 8%.

Why is the draw only 16%?

With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 15.4%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,666.

What did we measure but not count?

Dinamo Tirana have gained 95 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,235 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Dinamo Tirana 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.
