Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Israel 42%, the draw 27%, Rep. Of Ireland 31%. It finished Israel 0–3 Rep. Of Ireland.
Home ground outweighs Rep. Of Ireland's rating edge — Rep. Of Ireland are the stronger side on our strength rating, but home ground plus Israel's control of the ball give Israel the lean. The draw at 27% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Israel at 42%?
Home ground, against the rating. Rep. Of Ireland sit 63 points higher on our strength rating — 1595 to 1658. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge on the road won 32.5% of 10,281 such games. Israel hold 10 more possession points (54 to 44 in recent games) across a 63-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 60–120-point rating gap won 42.5% of 8,531 such games where the class table expected 40.7%.
Why only 42%?
Because Rep. Of Ireland are the stronger side on our strength rating. The rest is the draw at 27% and Rep. Of Ireland at 31%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 29.0%. These teams' recent games average 3.7 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.0% of 16,951. The goals environment takes 2.4 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Israel (9 fully-tracked matches with us) and Rep. Of Ireland (8) 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.
