Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Vasco DA Gama 26%, the draw 27%, Flamengo 47%. It finished Vasco DA Gama 1–4 Flamengo.
Flamengo's strength edge, trimmed by a strong home advantage — We give Flamengo 47% mainly because our strength rating has them 206 points higher, 1740 to 1534, though home sides in Brasileirão Série A do better than the global norm, which helps Vasco. The draw sits at 27%, up from a usual 24% for a gap this size, nudged higher by this competition's typical draw rate and both teams' recent games averaging 2.6 goals.
Why Flamengo at 47%?
Flamengo sit 206 points higher on our strength rating — 1740 to 1534. Sides with a 160–240-point rating edge on the road won 50.5% of 7,200 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 22–24–54.
Why only 47%?
Brasileirão Série A home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 25.4% norm) and away wins (24.8% vs 30.0%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.3% of 4,503 games vs 44.6% across all 108,147 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Vasco DA Gama win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.3%. These teams' recent games average 2.6 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.4% of 30,347. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 1.6 points. The goals environment adds 1.1 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Flamengo have averaged 7 percentage points more possession than Vasco DA Gama in recent games. That doesn’t change our forecast here. With 7 rounds left, both still have something to play for — Vasco DA Gama are 5 points above the drop, Flamengo level on points with 2nd. Two-motivated run-ins have leaned slightly to stalemates in our corpus, but the measured cell (4119 games so far) hasn't cleared our evidence bar — noted at 0 points. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
