Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Ararat-Armenia 15%, the draw 16%, AZ Alkmaar 69%. It finished Ararat-Armenia 0–4 AZ Alkmaar.
AZ Alkmaar's strength gap drives a clear lead — We give AZ Alkmaar 69% mainly because our strength rating puts them 361 points higher, 1687 to 1327, though home sides in the UEFA Europa League tend to out-perform the norm, which nudges things a little towards Ararat-Armenia. The draw sits at 16%, starting from the usual 19% for a gap this size and lowered by 2 points because draws are less common in this competition.
Why AZ Alkmaar at 69%?
AZ Alkmaar sit 361 points higher on our strength rating — 1687 to 1327. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge on the road won 65.6% of 5,887 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 11–19–70.
Why only 69%?
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 is the draw only 16%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 18.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.8% of 25,276. UEFA Europa League produces fewer draws than most, taking 2.2 points off.
What did we measure but not count?
AZ Alkmaar have averaged 11 percentage points more possession than Ararat-Armenia in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here.
