Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave SC Braga 53%, the draw 26%, GIL Vicente 21%. It finished SC Braga 1–2 GIL Vicente.
Braga's stronger rating gives them a slight lean — We give SC Braga 53% mainly because our strength rating puts them 134 points higher, though GIL Vicente's cold finishing pulls slightly the other way, as streaks like theirs have bounced back. The draw sits at 26%, up from a usual 25% because both sides' recent games have been low-scoring.
Why SC Braga at 53%?
SC Braga sit 134 points higher on our strength rating — 1649 to 1515. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.7% of 13,379 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 59–25–16.
Why only 53%?
GIL Vicente sit -0.43 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Finishing swings carry a receipt at this rating gap too: sides finishing this cold won 38.6% of 2,547 such games where the class table expected 35.8%.
Why the draw at 26%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.8%. These teams' recent games average 2.0 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,755. The goals environment adds 2.8 points to the draw. The bounce-back factor takes 1.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
GIL Vicente have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336). SC Braga play in Europe in 3 days — the classic minds-elsewhere worry. We checked, and no: league games in the four days before a European fixture ran +1.8 points above class expectation across 4,991 games — and the same clubs beat class by +2.1 in ordinary league weeks too (11,419-game control).
