Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sabah FA 31%, the draw 26%, Slavia Praha 43%. It finished Sabah FA 2–0 Slavia Praha.
Slavia Praha's higher strength rating gives them the edge — We give Slavia Praha 43% mainly because our strength rating has them 109 points higher, 1574 to 1464, and their recent finishing below their chances adds a little, since cold streaks like this tend to bounce back. The draw sits at 26%, just under the usual 28% for a gap this size, trimmed by that finishing streak and a typical scoring picture.
Why Slavia Praha at 43%?
Slavia Praha sit 109 points higher on our strength rating — 1574 to 1464. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.9% of 13,833 such games. Slavia Praha sit -0.52 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.8% of 2,521 such games where the class table expected 35.9%. The 300 most similar past games finished 37–28–35.
Why only 43%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 43% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 26% and Sabah FA at 31%.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,166. The bounce-back factor takes 1.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Sabah FA have 23 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.
