Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Beşiktaş 46%, the draw 23%, Crystal Palace 31%. It finished Beşiktaş 2–2 Crystal Palace.
Home advantage gives Beşiktaş a slight lean — With almost nothing between the sides on our strength rating, 1702 to 1729, Beşiktaş lead at 46% thanks to the usual home advantage, boosted further because home sides run strong in the UEFA Europa League. The draw starts at 27.1% for sides this level, then falls to 23% because Europa League games draw less often and both teams' recent games average 3.7 goals.
Why Beşiktaş in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1702 to 1729. Sides this close won 42.6% of 14,863 home games (draw 27.1%, visitors 30.3%). UEFA Europa League home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (23.2% vs 25.4% norm). UEFA Europa League homes won 47.0% of 4,474 games vs 44.6% across all 101,492 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 46%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 23% and Crystal Palace at 31%.
Why is the draw only 23%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.1%. These teams' recent games average 3.7 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 17,081. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.2 points off. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
A 15-point possession gap between near-equal sides is unusual. Gaps this extreme are too rare to receipt — around 375 measured games, under our 300-game floor — so it's noted at 0 points. Out: Dean Henderson, an important player and Crystal Palace's first-choice goalkeeper. In the past games we have checked, a missing first-choice goalkeeper made no measurable difference, so this stays at 0 points.
