Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Atletico-MG 51%, the draw 32%, Vitoria 17%. It finished Atletico-MG 2–1 Vitoria.
Atletico-MG's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Atletico-MG are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage on top gives Atletico-MG the lean. The draw at 32% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Atletico-MG at 51%?
Atletico-MG sit 100 points higher on our strength rating — 1709 to 1610. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.6% of 10,384 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 4,414 games vs 44.9% across all 99,457 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 51%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 51% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 32% and Vitoria at 17%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Vitoria win?
