Sirius · Why these numbers
Türkiye 23% · Draw 21% · France 56%
France's rating gap outweighs Türkiye's home ground — France are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of France's 56%. The draw at 21% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why France at 56%?
France sit 295 points higher on our strength rating — 1812 to 2107. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge on the road won 52.0% of 6,109 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 22–23–55.
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 21% and Türkiye at 23%.
Why is the draw only 21%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 23.0%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,318. The goals environment takes 2.0 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Türkiye (16 fully-tracked matches with us) and France (20) carry strength ratings anchored to the official international ratings list, so the class read stands on far more than our own short records. National sides play too few games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from the published international ratings instead of a blind first guess.
