Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Cruzeiro 80%, the draw 13%, Chapecoense-sc 7%. It finished Cruzeiro 2–0 Chapecoense-sc.
Cruzeiro's rating gap decides it — Cruzeiro are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Cruzeiro's 80%. The draw at 13% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Cruzeiro at 80%?
Cruzeiro sit 414 points higher on our strength rating — 1752 to 1338. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.7% of 5,042 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 82–11–7.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 80% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 13% and Chapecoense-sc at 7%.
Why is the draw only 13%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 11.4%. These teams' recent games average 2.3 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,047. The goals environment adds 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Cruzeiro average 16 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 414 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Cruzeiro are missing 2 regular starters — Matheus Pereira, Keny Arroyo — about 25% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
