The two sides
Vitoria carry a model rating of 6.36 against 6.76 for Bahia. 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.
Recent form (most recent last): Vitoria L-W-D-L-L; Bahia W-W-D-D-D.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.00 goals for Vitoria and 1.71 for Bahia. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Vitoria rate 0.49 in attack and 1.36 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Bahia rate 0.90 and 1.08.
That points to 51% for over two and a half goals and 52% for both teams to score.
The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (12%), 0-1 (11%), 1-2 (10%).
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Vitoria a 0% chance of the title and Bahia 0.1%, from 10000 simulated seasons.
