From our Liga MX season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

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.

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

The two sides

Necaxa carry a model rating of 6.39 against 6.6 for Club Tijuana. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.27 goals for Necaxa and 1.45 for Club Tijuana. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Necaxa rate 0.62 in attack and 1.56 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Club Tijuana rate 0.72 and 1.19.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Necaxa a 0% chance of the title and Club Tijuana 0.1%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,189 correct results out of 4,550 settled predictions (48%), with 452 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.

Team comparison

Bars show each side's share of the two-team total, based on the model's attack/defence ratings and expected goals for this fixture.

Why the model favours this side

The model gives Club Tijuana the highest probability at 39%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.27 expected goals for Necaxa against 1.45 for Club Tijuana. Necaxa's attack/defence rating is 0.62/1.56 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.72/1.19 for Club Tijuana.

How the model reaches 39% for Club Tijuana to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 37% for Club Tijuana to win. Then home advantage takes away 8 points, Necaxa's ratings add 26 points and Club Tijuana's ratings take away 16 points, which lands on the published 39%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground37%
  2. Home advantage29%−8
  3. Necaxa's ratings55%+26
  4. Club Tijuana's ratings39%−16

Each step adds one input to the step before. In another order the steps would differ in size; the end point would not.

Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half.

Each side's next matches on our board after this one. The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
