Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Santos 49%, the draw 30%, Mirassol 21%. It finished Santos 1–1 Mirassol.
Level sides, Santos' control of the ball swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Santos' control of the ball plus Brasileirão Série A home advantage give Santos the lean. The draw at 30% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Santos in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1631 to 1651. Sides this close won 43.2% of 15,816 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.1%). Santos hold 7 more possession points (55 to 48 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, home teams with this control edge won 47.9% of 5,175 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 (24.9% 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.
Why only 49%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 30% and Mirassol at 21%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Mirassol win?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 2.7 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 1.5 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Santos are missing 3 regular starters — Igor Vinicius, Gabriel Bontempo, Neymar — about 36% 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. Mirassol are missing their first-choice keeper and 2 more regular starters — Denilson, Edson, Walter — about 38% of their usual starting-XI weight. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
