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.

Leading scorers: Club Tijuana and Santos Laguna

Club Tijuana

Santos Laguna

No player in Liga MX's leading scorers — 12 league goals as a side.

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

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Club Tijuana carry a model rating of 6.6 against 6.47 for Santos Laguna. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.79 goals for Club Tijuana and 1.03 for Santos Laguna. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Club Tijuana rate 0.74 in attack and 1.22 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Santos Laguna rate 0.66 and 1.40.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Club Tijuana a 0.9% chance of the title and Santos Laguna 0%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

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.

Team comparison

Club Tijuana's attack/defence rating is 0.74/1.22 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.66/1.4 for Santos Laguna.

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.
