The model makes it 34% Elche, 26% draw, 40% Real Betis — fair odds of 2.94, 3.85 and 2.50. Fair odds are simply 100 ÷ the probability; they are the model's own number, not a bookmaker's price.

Expected goals: Elche 1.45, Real Betis 1.61.

Both teams to score: 62%. Over 2.5 goals: 59%, under 2.5: 41%.

Model confidence: Medium — calls at this level have come off 45% of the time, over 2,224 settled matches.

Edge to Real Betis: the better side on the model's ratings, but not by much. In past matches rated this way the favourite won 54%, 26% were drawn and the underdog won 21%.

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: Elche and Real Betis

Elche

GoalsAssists

  • Fer Niño60

Real Betis

No player in La Liga's leading scorers — 16 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.

The two sides

Elche carry a model rating of 6.83 against 7.03 for Real Betis. 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 1.45 goals for Elche and 1.61 for Real Betis. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Elche rate 0.98 in attack and 1.01 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Real Betis rate 1.29 and 0.91.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Elche a 0% chance of the title and Real Betis 0.9%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

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.

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

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 Real Betis the highest probability at 40%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.45 expected goals for Elche against 1.61 for Real Betis. Elche's attack/defence rating is 0.98/1.01 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.29/0.91 for Real Betis.

How the model reaches 40% for Real Betis to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Real Betis to win. Then home advantage takes away 7 points, Elche's ratings add 1 point and Real Betis's ratings add 10 points, which lands on the published 40%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground36%
  2. Home advantage29%−7
  3. Elche's ratings30%+1
  4. Real Betis's ratings40%+10

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

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.
