How the model rates them now

Attack and defence are multipliers on an average side: above 1.00 in attack means the club scores more than the average team in its competition, and below 1.00 in defence means it concedes fewer. The methodology sets out how they are derived, including where the model is known to be wrong.

Barracas Central0.701.08
Racing Club0.791.35

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Barracas Central carry a model rating of 6.64 against 6.58 for Racing Club. 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 a tight, low-scoring game

Under the hood the model expects 1.16 goals for Barracas Central and 0.79 for Racing Club. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Barracas Central rate 0.70 in attack and 1.08 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Racing Club rate 0.79 and 1.35.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,299 correct results out of 4,800 settled predictions (48%), with 474 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

Once the match starts, the win probabilities at the top update live from the score, the clock and any sendings-off.
