Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Bahia 48%, the draw 30%, Vasco DA Gama 22%. It finished Bahia 0–0 Vasco DA Gama.
Level sides, Bahia's control of the ball swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Bahia's control of the ball plus Brasileirão Série A home advantage give Bahia the lean. The draw at 30% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Bahia in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1658 to 1622. Sides this close won 45.6% of 14,456 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.8%). Bahia hold 5 more possession points (58 to 53 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 48.0% of 5,156 games, vs 44.0% when styles were level. 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 4,388 games vs 44.9% across all 98,904 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 48%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Vasco DA Gama sit -0.46 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.4% of 1,296 games, vs 28.9% for visitors finishing normally.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Vasco DA Gama win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,529. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.1 points. The goals environment adds 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Bahia are missing 4 regular starters — David Duarte, Santiago Ramos, Luciano Juba — about 46% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. Vasco DA Gama are winless in their last 8 visits to Bahia. "Cursed ground" stories don't survive the receipts: winless visitors won 20.5% of 5,608 return visits vs 21.4% class-expected — the rating's own read already covers it. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
