Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave AS Roma 85%, the draw 11%, Slovan Bratislava 4%. It finished AS Roma 4–0 Slovan Bratislava.
A big strength gap makes AS Roma clear favourites — We give AS Roma 85% mainly because they sit 410 points higher on our strength rating, 1864 to 1454, and they also get the usual home advantage. The draw sits at 11%, close to the usual draw rate of about 12% for a strength gap this size, with nothing else moving it.
Why AS Roma at 85%?
AS Roma sit 410 points higher on our strength rating — 1864 to 1454. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge at home won 79.3% of 5,574 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 86–11–3.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 85% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 11% and Slovan Bratislava at 4%.
Why is the draw only 11%?

What did we measure but not count?
AS Roma have averaged 14 percentage points more possession than Slovan Bratislava in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Out: Manu Koné and Paulo Dybala, important players. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
