Where the two sides stand. Full tables
Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Mirassol carry a model rating of 6.79 against 6.65 for Palmeiras. 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.
Recent form (most recent last): Mirassol L-W-D-W-L; Palmeiras W-L-W-D-L.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.95 goals for Mirassol and 1.10 for Palmeiras. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Mirassol rate 0.83 in attack and 0.95 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Palmeiras rate 0.83 and 1.24.
That points to 59% for over two and a half goals and 58% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (11%), 2-1 (10%), 2-0 (9%).
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Palmeiras, 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 Mirassol a 0% chance of the title and Palmeiras 64.1%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
