Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Atletico-MG 57%, the draw 29%, RB Bragantino 14%. It finished Atletico-MG 1–0 RB Bragantino.
Atletico-MG's control of the ball swings it — Atletico-MG are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and their control of the ball plus Brasileirão Série A home advantage on top give Atletico-MG a clear lead. The draw at 29% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Atletico-MG at 57%?
Atletico-MG sit 56 points higher on our strength rating — 1560 to 1504. Sides with a 40–80-point rating edge at home won 50.1% of 10,326 such games. Atletico-MG hold 8 more possession points (54 to 46 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 48.2% of 5,118 games, vs 43.9% when styles were level. Brasileirão Série A home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 25.4% norm) and away wins (24.9% vs 30.0%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.2% of 4,457 games vs 44.6% across all 100,836 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 57%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 57% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 29% and RB Bragantino at 14%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the RB Bragantino win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.0%. These teams' recent games average 2.4 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.5% of 28,245. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 1.5 points. The goals environment adds 1.2 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Out: Ruan Tressoldi, an important player. This does not change our forecast yet: we are still measuring how much missing players like these cost a team. Out: Everson, a star player and Atletico-MG's first-choice goalkeeper. In the past games we have checked, a missing first-choice goalkeeper made no measurable difference, so this stays at 0 points. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
