Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Barcelona 68%, the draw 18%, Aston Villa 14%. It finished Barcelona 3–0 Aston Villa.
Strength gap puts Barcelona clearly in front — Barcelona sit 165 points higher on our strength rating, 2032 to 1867, and the usual home advantage adds to that, so we give them 68% to Aston Villa's 14%. The draw starts near 20%, the usual rate for a gap this size, and drops to 18% because both sides' own recent games average 4.5 goals.
Why Barcelona at 68%?
Barcelona sit 165 points higher on our strength rating — 2032 to 1867. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge at home won 66.9% of 7,091 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 64–21–15.
Why only 68%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 68% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 18% and Aston Villa at 14%.
Why is the draw only 18%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.8%. These teams' recent games average 4.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.1% of 18,571. The goals environment takes 1.7 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Barcelona have averaged 22 percentage points more possession than Aston Villa in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Barcelona scored +0.83 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 3,221 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 41.0% vs 42.3% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
