Sirius · Why these numbers
Bradford 43% · Draw 26% · Marine 31%
Home advantage gives Bradford a slight edge — Our strength rating has almost nothing between the sides, 1351 to 1360, with Marine fractionally higher, so the usual home advantage is what puts Bradford in front at 43% to 31%. The draw starts at 27% for sides this level and dips slightly to 26%, as both teams' own recent games average 2.8 goals.
Why Bradford in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1351 to 1360. Sides this close won 42.5% of 15,673 home games (draw 27.2%, visitors 30.4%).
Why only 43%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 26% and Marine at 31%.
Why the draw at 26%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.7% of 27,360.
What did we measure but not count?
Bradford are 1 game into a new manager (M. Duff), appointed 10 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. Marine arrive with 13 fully-tracked matches, so their strength number is a first estimate that will move quickly; Bradford bring a 27-game record. New-to-the-record sides are where our rating knows least.
