Sirius · Why these numbers

Before kick-off Sirius gave Palmeiras 77%, the draw 20%, Vasco DA Gama 3%. It finished Palmeiras 4–1 Vasco DA Gama.

Palmeiras' rating gap decides it — Palmeiras are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage on top makes it one-sided for Palmeiras. The draw at 20% is helped by a draw-heavy league.

Why Palmeiras at 77%?

Palmeiras sit 310 points higher on our strength rating — 1905 to 1595. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.7% of 5,082 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 (24.9% vs 30.2%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.1% of 4,407 games vs 44.9% across all 99,290 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 74–18–8.

Why not higher?

No scored evidence points the other way. 77% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 20% and Vasco DA Gama at 3%.

Why is the draw only 20%?

With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 16.9%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,635. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.1 points. The goals environment adds 1.0 points to the draw.

What did we measure but not count?

Vasco DA Gama have shed 63 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.6% of 9,645 such games vs 34.5% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Last 6 between them: Palmeiras 5 wins, 0 draws, Vasco DA Gama 1 win. Most recently Vasco DA Gama 2–1 Palmeiras, 5 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5051 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points.
