From the same Poisson distribution behind our 1X2 and totals numbers, built on expected goals of 1.25 and 1.25. These six scorelines cover 57% of all outcomes — the rest is spread thinly across dozens of possibilities, which is why correct-score betting is a longshot even when the model is right about the shape of the game.

Grêmio vs Cruzeiro: match preview
Grêmio host Cruzeiro in a Brasileirão fixture where the betting market leans toward the visitors. Cruzeiro are priced at 2.17 for the win, translating to an implied probability of roughly 46%, while Grêmio's 3.1 price points to about 32%, and the draw at 3.45 sits near 29%. That gap suggests bookmakers see Cruzeiro as moderate favourites without being overwhelmingly dominant, leaving a competitive spread across all three outcomes. Away from the match-result market, our model's attention turns to the goals market, flagging Over 2.5 goals at 1.73 as the recommended angle. That price implies a bookmaker probability near 58%, while the model's own confidence sits a touch lower at 54%, producing a value edge of -5.97%. In other words, the data points to goals being a plausible theme, but the numbers themselves suggest the market may already be pricing this outcome efficiently or slightly ahead of the model's own estimate.
