Written before kick-off and left as it stood — the reading below is the model's pre-match case, not a view formed after the result.
Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Atletico Mineiro carry a model rating of 6.72 against 6.72 for Fluminense. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.64 goals for Atletico Mineiro and 1.23 for Fluminense. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Atletico Mineiro rate 0.87 in attack and 1.13 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Fluminense rate 0.90 and 1.16.
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Fluminense, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Atletico Mineiro a 0% chance of the title and Fluminense 0.1%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
