Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Flamengo 73%, the draw 21%, Mirassol 6%. It finished Flamengo 2–0 Mirassol.
Flamengo's rating gap decides it — Flamengo are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage on top makes it one-sided for Flamengo. The draw at 21% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Flamengo at 73%?
Flamengo sit 263 points higher on our strength rating — 1913 to 1651. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,969 such games. Brasileirão Série A home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (27.0% vs 24.9% norm) and away wins (24.8% vs 30.2%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.2% of 4,424 games vs 44.9% across all 99,663 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 70–19–11.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 73% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 21% and Mirassol at 6%.
Why is the draw only 21%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.4%. These teams' recent games average 2.8 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 24,949. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.1 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Flamengo average 12 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 263 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. Mirassol are missing 2 regular starters — Denilson, Edson — about 24% of their usual starting-XI weight. Our measured receipt covers one-sided absences only, and the picture here isn't one-sided — both squads are short. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
