Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Hradec Králové 33%, the draw 27%, Panathinaikos 40%. It finished Hradec Králové 1–1 Panathinaikos.
Panathinaikos' rating edge outweighs Hradec Králové's home ground — Panathinaikos are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Panathinaikos' 40%. The draw at 27% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Panathinaikos at 40%?
Panathinaikos sit 156 points higher on our strength rating — 1542 to 1699. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,099 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 29–32–39.
Why only 40%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 40% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Hradec Králové at 33%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. Not enough recent scoring data to set the goals dial — the draw stays at the class table's rate.
What did we measure but not count?
Hradec Králové have 5 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.
