Sirius · Why these numbers
Viking 84% · Draw 11% · KFUM Oslo 5%
Viking's big strength edge makes this one-sided — We give Viking 84% mainly because they sit 332 points higher on our strength rating, 1763 to 1431, with the usual home advantage adding to that. The draw starts near 12%, the usual rate for a gap this size, and drops to 11% because both sides' own recent games average 3.9 goals.
Why Viking at 84%?
Viking sit 332 points higher on our strength rating — 1763 to 1431. Sides with a more than 240-point rating edge at home won 79.6% of 5,987 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 84–11–5.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 84% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 11% and KFUM Oslo at 5%.
Why is the draw only 11%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 11.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.9 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.1% of 18,743. The goals environment takes 1.0 points off the draw.
