Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Kosovo 22%, the draw 26%, Austria 52%. It finished Kosovo 1–1 Austria.
Austria's rating gap outweighs Kosovo's home ground — Austria are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Austria's 52%. The draw at 26% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Austria at 52%?
Austria sit 205 points higher on our strength rating — 1619 to 1824. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge on the road won 50.6% of 6,704 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 22–25–53.
Why only 52%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 52% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 26% and Kosovo at 22%.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.8%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.5% of 28,255. The goals environment adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Austria have averaged 8 percentage points more possession than Kosovo in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. Kosovo have gained 124 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 40.0% of 11,167 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.
