POST-MATCH Sao Paulo vs Gremio
iddaakolik Post-Match Analysis — what we said & what happened

Sao Paulo squeezed past Gremio 2-1. It was 0-1 at half-time, meaning the result turned around in the second half.

As we highlighted before kick-off, our model had Sao Paulo as the likeliest winner at 48%, and the 2-1 landed on that lead. The goals read — under 2.5 goals (60%), no to both teams scoring (59%) — went the other way, though.

On the day, Sao Paulo had 60% of the ball to Gremio's 40%, shots finished 20-3, expected goals 2.62 to 1.10 — an xG gap that size says the one-goal margin undersold Sao Paulo's control.

Coming into the game, across their last 6 meetings in our records, honours were even at 3 apiece. Those games averaged 1.33 goals for Sao Paulo and 1.33 for Gremio.
