Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Botafogo 51%, the draw 32%, RB Bragantino 17%. It finished Botafogo 1–1 RB Bragantino.
Botafogo's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Botafogo are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage on top gives Botafogo the lean. The draw at 32% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Botafogo at 51%?
Botafogo sit 72 points higher on our strength rating — 1721 to 1649. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,454 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 4,436 games vs 44.9% across all 100,077 — 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 RB Bragantino at 17%.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the RB Bragantino win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.5%. These teams' recent games average 2.2 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.2% of 18,201. The goals environment adds 3.7 points to the draw. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.1 points.
