Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Faroe Islands 15%, the draw 19%, Slovakia 66%. It finished Faroe Islands 1–1 Slovakia.
Slovakia's rating gap outweighs Faroe Islands' home ground — Slovakia are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Slovakia's 66%. The draw at 19% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Slovakia at 66%?
Slovakia sit 348 points higher on our strength rating — 1348 to 1696. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge on the road won 65.7% of 5,926 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 15–18–67.
Why only 66%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 66% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 19% and Faroe Islands at 15%.
Why is the draw only 19%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 18.4%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.5% of 28,243.
What did we measure but not count?
Slovakia have averaged 12 percentage points more possession than Faroe Islands in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Faroe Islands have gained 84 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 40.0% of 11,141 such games vs 40.4% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
