Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Corinthians 53%, the draw 29%, Santos 18%. It finished Corinthians 0–1 Santos.
Corinthians' rating edge, but the draw is in play — Corinthians are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage on top gives Corinthians the lean. The draw at 29% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Corinthians at 53%?
Corinthians sit 97 points higher on our strength rating — 1723 to 1626. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.6% of 10,398 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 4,417 games vs 44.9% across all 99,542 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 53%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 53% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 29% and Santos at 18%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Santos win?
With a rating gap this size 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 27,699. 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?
Corinthians are missing their first-choice keeper and 4 more regular starters — Breno, Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho — about 51% 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. Santos are missing 4 regular starters — Igor Vinicius, Gabriel Bontempo, Lucas Veríssimo — about 35% of their usual starting-XI weight. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
