Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Hapoel Beer Sheva 56%, the draw 25%, OFI 19%. It finished Hapoel Beer Sheva 0–2 OFI.
Ball control puts Hapoel Beer Sheva clearly ahead — We give Hapoel Beer Sheva 56% mainly because they usually control the ball, holding 52% possession to 46% for OFI in recent games, and our strength rating also has them a shade stronger. The draw sits at 25%, a little below its usual 27% for a gap this size, as Europa League games draw less often than most.
Why Hapoel Beer Sheva at 56%?
Hapoel Beer Sheva sit 53 points higher on our strength rating — 1517 to 1463. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.2% of 11,124 such games. Hapoel Beer Sheva hold 6 more possession points (52 to 46 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 48.5% of 5,645 games, vs 44.1% when styles were level. 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.
Why only 56%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 56% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 25% and OFI at 19%.
Why the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.8%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.4% of 30,389. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.2 points off. The goals environment adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
OFI have 6 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.
