Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Armenia 40%, the draw 26%, Montenegro 34%. It finished Armenia 2–3 Montenegro.
Level sides, home ground holds off Montenegro's control of the ball — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Armenia's 40% is home ground and little else. The draw at 26% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Armenia in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1465 to 1490. Sides this close won 42.8% of 14,753 home games (draw 26.9%, visitors 30.3%).
Why only 40%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Montenegro hold 11 more possession points (53 to 42 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.0% across 5,455 games, from 44.0% when styles were level.
Why the draw at 26%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.0% of 16,960. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. The control factor adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Armenia (7 fully-tracked matches with us) and Montenegro (9) 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.
