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.

ClubAttackDefence
Borussia Mönchengladbach0.831.21
VfB Stuttgart1.160.91

The two sides

VfB Stuttgart carry a model rating of 6.97 against 6.66 for Borussia Mönchengladbach. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.58 goals for VfB Stuttgart and 1.17 for Borussia Mönchengladbach. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

VfB Stuttgart rate 1.16 in attack and 0.91 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Borussia Mönchengladbach rate 0.83 and 1.21.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,771 correct results out of 3,709 settled predictions (48%), with 376 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.

Statistical estimate, not betting advice This prediction is generated from a statistical model for entertainment and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcome and should not be used as the basis for placing a bet.
