Sirius · Why these numbers

Before kick-off Sirius gave Palmeiras 75%, the draw 21%, Atletico-MG 4%. It finished Palmeiras 1–2 Atletico-MG.

Palmeiras' rating gap decides it — Palmeiras are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage plus their unbeaten home run on top make it one-sided for Palmeiras. The draw at 21% is helped by a draw-heavy league.

Why Palmeiras at 75%?

Palmeiras sit 275 points higher on our strength rating — 1938 to 1663. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.1% of 5,873 such games. Brasileirão Série A home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 24.9% norm) and away wins (24.9% vs 30.2%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.3% of 4,371 games vs 44.9% across all 98,326 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. Palmeiras have kept their home record clean this season — 9 home games without defeat. Sides protecting an unbeaten home season won 59.1% of 4,855 such games where the class table expected 56.1% — one of the few streak facts that clears our evidence bar. The 300 most similar past games finished 71–19–10.

Why not higher?

No scored evidence points the other way. 75% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 21% and Atletico-MG at 4%.

Why is the draw only 21%?

With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.1%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,402. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points. The goals environment adds 1.1 points to the draw.

What did we measure but not count?

Palmeiras are missing 1 regular starter — Vitor Roque — about 20% 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. Atletico-MG are missing 1 regular starter — Alan Franco — about 19% of their usual starting-XI weight. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
