Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Sao Paulo 40%, the draw 34%, Atletico-MG 26%. It finished Sao Paulo 2–0 Atletico-MG.
Home ground outweighs Atletico-MG's rating edge — Atletico-MG are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Brasileirão Série A home advantage gives Sao Paulo the lean. The draw at 34% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Sao Paulo at 40%?
Home ground, against the rating. Atletico-MG sit 94 points higher on our strength rating — 1632 to 1726. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,581 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 4,425 games vs 44.9% across all 99,727 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 40%?
Because Atletico-MG are the stronger side on our strength rating. The rest is the draw at 34% and Atletico-MG at 26%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Atletico-MG win?
