Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Slavia Prague 12%, the draw 16%, Arsenal 72%. It finished Slavia Prague 1–2 Arsenal.
Arsenal's big strength edge makes this one-sided — We give Arsenal 72% because they sit 465 points higher on our strength rating, 2038 to 1573, a gap that outweighs the usual home advantage Slavia Prague start with. The draw sits at 16%, right at the usual draw rate for a strength gap this size, with nothing listed moving it.
Why Arsenal at 72%?
Arsenal sit 465 points higher on our strength rating — 2038 to 1573. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge on the road won 65.7% of 6,318 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 11–15–74.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 72% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 16% and Slavia Prague at 12%.
Why is the draw only 16%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 16.1%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.7% of 27,340.
What did we measure but not count?
Out: Tomáš Chorý, an important player. Doubtful: Samuel Isife, a rotation player. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. Out: Bukayo Saka, an important player. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
