Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Remo 34%, the draw 33%, Santos 33%. It finished Remo 1–2 Santos.
Anyone's game — Santos are the stronger side on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage is not enough to separate them. The draw at 33% is lifted by a low-scoring environment.
Why Remo at 34%?
Home ground, against the rating. Santos sit 131 points higher on our strength rating — 1536 to 1667. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,189 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 48.2% of 4,446 games vs 44.9% across all 100,303 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why only 34%?
Because Santos are the stronger side on our strength rating. The rest is the draw at 33% and Santos at 33%.
Why is the draw second, level with the Santos win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 2.2 goals — a low-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 28.1% of 18,221. The goals environment adds 3.8 points to the draw. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.1 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Santos average 15 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 131 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Remo scored +0.53 goals per game beyond chance-quality lately — hot streaks like that have cooled off. Measured across 2,876 games at this rating gap, hot-finishing sides won 42.1% vs 42.9% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it scores 0 until the receipt clears its evidence bar. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
