Eight runs in ten finished between 12 Sharks and 26 Saracens, half of them between 2 Sharks and 15 Saracens, with the middle run at 5 Saracens.

Those are gaps rather than scorelines. How much scoring the match produces is drawn separately — between 32 and 72 points in eight runs out of ten — so one bar covers many scores. The middle run above is 22-17 on a tight afternoon and 33-28 on an open one.

Why Saracens are favoured

How the model arrives at the chance of Saracens winning. It starts at an even 50%, and each line below adds to that or takes from it, in percentage points (pp): a bar to the right helps Saracens, a bar to the left helps Sharks.
