Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Gremio 43%, the draw 32%, Vasco DA Gama 25%. It finished Gremio 1–2 Vasco DA Gama.
Level sides, home ground holds off Vasco DA Gama's cold finishing due to recover — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage gives Gremio the lean. The draw at 32% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Gremio in front?
Home ground, mostly. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1656 to 1638. Sides this close won 45.7% of 14,634 home games (draw 26.5%, visitors 27.9%). 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 43%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Vasco DA Gama sit -0.74 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.5% of 1,362 games, vs 29.1% for visitors finishing normally.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Vasco DA Gama win?
Between sides this level 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.
What did we measure but not count?
Vasco DA Gama are winless in their last 16 league games away from home (5 draws, 11 defeats), a run going back to November 2025. 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 13,651 games vs 24.9% class-expected — slightly more, not fewer. Gremio are missing 6 regular starters — Erick Noriega, Marlon, Cristian Pavón — about 57% 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.
