Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Real Betis 54%, the draw 22%, Feyenoord 24%. It finished Real Betis 1–0 Feyenoord.
Real Betis edge it on our strength rating — We give Real Betis 54% mainly because our strength rating has them a shade stronger, 1782 to 1727, helped by Feyenoord's recent scoring running well above their chances, a streak that tends to cool. The draw starts near 27% for a gap this size but drops to 22%, lowered by both sides' high-scoring recent games and that finishing streak.
Why Real Betis at 54%?
Real Betis sit 55 points higher on our strength rating — 1782 to 1727. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.3% of 10,422 such games. Feyenoord scored +0.79 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 27.6% of 1,488 games, vs 27.9% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 54%?
Real Betis scored +0.35 goals per game beyond chance-quality — home sides this hot gave some of it back. Opponents of hot-finishing home sides won 28.5% of 1,492 games, vs 27.7% against normal finishing.
Why is the draw only 22%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.8%. These teams' recent games average 4.5 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 17,071. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. The cool-off factor takes 2.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Feyenoord have gained 70 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 39.8% of 11,244 such games vs 40.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Out: Cucho Hernández, an important player. 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.
