Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Northern Ireland 41%, the draw 30%, Georgia 29%. It finished Northern Ireland 0–0 Georgia.
Level sides, home ground holds off Georgia's control of the ball — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Northern Ireland's 41% is home ground and little else. The draw at 30% is up from the usual 27.4% between sides this level, as small adjustments add up.
Why Northern Ireland in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1619 to 1612. Sides this close won 46.0% of 13,646 home games (draw 27.4%, visitors 26.6%).
Why only 41%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Georgia hold 14 more possession points (50 to 36 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 39.9% across 5,459 games, from 43.9% when styles were level.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Georgia win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.4%. These teams' recent games average 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.5% of 28,263. The goals environment adds 1.2 points to the draw. The control factor adds 1.2 points to the draw.
