Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Flamengo 70%, the draw 23%, Vitoria 7%. It finished Flamengo 2–0 Vitoria.
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 23% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Flamengo at 70%?
Flamengo sit 269 points higher on our strength rating — 1900 to 1631. Sides with a 200–300-point rating edge at home won 67.0% of 5,913 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 4,388 games vs 44.9% across all 98,904 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 69–19–12.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 70% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 23% and Vitoria at 7%.
Why is the draw only 23%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 19.7%. 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 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Flamengo average 14 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 269 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. Vitoria are missing 4 regular starters — Cacá, Luan Cândido, Emmanuel Martínez — about 36% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
