Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Vitoria 41%, the draw 33%, Gremio 26%. It finished Vitoria 1–0 Gremio.
Home ground outweighs Gremio's rating edge — Gremio are the stronger side on our strength rating, but Brasileirão Série A home advantage plus Gremio's hot finishing due to cool give Vitoria the lean. The draw at 33% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Vitoria at 41%?
Home ground, against the rating. Gremio sit 84 points higher on our strength rating — 1584 to 1668. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge on the road won 33.0% of 10,608 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 4,434 games vs 44.9% across all 99,965 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. Gremio scored +0.32 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Visitors running this hot went on to win 28.9% of 1,486 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 41%?
Because Gremio are the stronger side on our strength rating. The rest is the draw at 33% and Gremio at 26%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Gremio win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 28.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.3 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,187. The goals environment adds 4.0 points to the draw. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Gremio are winless in their last 12 league games away from home (4 draws, 8 defeats), a run going back to January 2026. A long road winless run reads like a warning, but the receipts don't treat it as one: visitors on a 6+ league run without an away win won 25.8% of 13,639 games vs 24.9% class-expected — slightly more, not fewer. Gremio are missing 5 regular starters — Erick Noriega, Marlon, Gustavo Martins — about 42% 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. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
