Anderlecht beat Red Bull Salzburg 2-0 in Europa League

AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Salzburg, under Danny Röhl, held the greater share of the ball with 56% possession to Anderlecht's 44%, but the hosts were considerably sharper in front of goal. Anderlecht managed 12 shots to 8, with seven on target to three, and their expected goals figure of 2.62 dwarfed Salzburg's 0.58.
Augustinsson's opener left the Belgian side 1-0 up at the interval, and the visitors could not find a way back into the contest. Winkler's late strike, created by Oliver Antman, ended any hope of a Salzburg response.

The result followed a 4-1 home win over KVC Westerlo for Anderlecht, while Salzburg had beaten Austria Lustenau 5-1 in their previous outing. Both sides are next in action on Sunday 8 November: Anderlecht travel to Club Brugge KV in the Jupiler Pro League, and Salzburg visit Sturm Graz in the Austrian Bundesliga.
Winkler took the top rating from the match at 7.46, scoring the 90th-minute second and also being named as a top performer for his goal. Augustinsson, who opened the scoring, was close behind on 7.39.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Anderlecht 51%, the draw 22%, Red Bull Salzburg 27%. It finished Anderlecht 2–0 Red Bull Salzburg.
Strong home edge in this competition lifts Anderlecht — Our strength rating has almost nothing between the sides, so Anderlecht's lead comes mainly from home advantage running strong in the UEFA Europa League, helped by Salzburg scoring above their chances lately, a streak that tends to cool. The draw starts at 27.5% but drops to 22%, mostly because of that finishing streak and the competition's usual draw rate.
Why Anderlecht in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1621 to 1613. Sides this close won 46.0% of 14,589 home games (draw 27.5%, visitors 26.6%). UEFA Europa League home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (23.2% vs 25.3% norm). UEFA Europa League homes won 46.9% of 4,493 games vs 44.6% across all 108,407 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. Red Bull Salzburg scored +0.57 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 27.7% of 1,682 games, vs 27.8% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 51%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 22% and Red Bull Salzburg at 27%.
Why is the draw only 22%?
