Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sturm Graz 25%, the draw 25%, Marseille 50%. It finished Sturm Graz 1–0 Marseille.
Marseille's stronger rating gives them the edge — We give Marseille 50%, mainly because our strength rating puts them 206 points higher, 1712 to 1506, though home sides in the UEFA Europa League do better than the global norm, which helps Sturm Graz a little. The draw sits at 25%, starting from 26 for a gap this size, lowered by the competition's usual draw rate and nudged up by typical scoring in both teams' recent games.
Why Marseille at 50%?
Marseille sit 206 points higher on our strength rating — 1712 to 1506. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge on the road won 50.9% of 6,706 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 23–27–50.
Why only 50%?
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 the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.7 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.5% of 28,369. 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?
Marseille have averaged 13 percentage points more possession than Sturm Graz in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Out: Otar Kiteishvili, an important player, Daniil Khudyakov and Seedy Jatta, rotation players, and Emran Soglo and Szymon Włodarczyk, on provisional ratings. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team.
