Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Heist 34%, the draw 25%, Antwerp 41%. It finished Heist 0–1 Antwerp.
Antwerp's stronger rating gives them a slight edge — Antwerp sit 101 points higher on our strength rating, 1461 to 1360, which is why we give them 41%, though Heist's usual home advantage keeps them close at 34%. The draw starts near 28%, the usual rate for a gap this size, and drops to 25% because both sides' own recent games average 3.3 goals.
Why Antwerp at 41%?
Antwerp sit 101 points higher on our strength rating — 1461 to 1360. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge on the road won 39.9% of 13,846 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 37–25–38.
Why only 41%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 41% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 25% and Heist at 34%.
Why the draw at 25%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.6%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,940. The goals environment takes 2.4 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Heist arrive with 8 fully-tracked matches, so their strength number is a first estimate that will move quickly; Antwerp bring a 399-game record. New-to-the-record sides are where our rating knows least.
