Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Vasco DA Gama 31%, the draw 31%, Fluminense 38%. It finished Vasco DA Gama 0–0 Fluminense.
Fluminense's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Fluminense are the stronger side on our strength rating, and their cold finishing due to recover on top gives Fluminense the lean. The draw at 31% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.

What did we measure but not count?
Vasco DA Gama have won the last 5 home meetings with Fluminense.
