Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Cruzeiro 50%, the draw 31%, Atletico-MG 19%. It finished Cruzeiro 1–1 Atletico-MG.
Cruzeiro's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Cruzeiro are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and their control of the ball on top gives Cruzeiro the lean. The draw at 31% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Cruzeiro at 50%?
Cruzeiro sit 81 points higher on our strength rating — 1791 to 1709. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.6% of 10,380 such games. Cruzeiro hold 7 more possession points (56 to 49 in recent games) across a 81-point rating gap. Control now carries a receipt beyond near-equals too: sides with this control edge at a 75–150-point rating gap won 42.6% of 8,622 such games where the class table expected 41.3%.
Why only 50%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 50% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 31% and Atletico-MG at 19%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Atletico-MG win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.0 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,128. The goals environment adds 3.5 points to the draw. The control factor adds 1.2 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Atletico-MG have gained 67 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,225 such games vs 40.7% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar.
