Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Atletico Paranaense carry a model rating of 6.88 against 6.88 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.

The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 1.87 goals for Atletico Paranaense and 1.38 for Fluminense. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Atletico Paranaense rate 0.96 in attack and 0.91 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Fluminense rate 1.08 and 1.03.
That points to 63% for over two and a half goals and 64% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 2-1 (9%), 1-2 (7%).
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Atletico Paranaense a 1.6% chance of the title and Fluminense 0.3%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
