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.
| Club | Attack | Defence |
|---|---|---|
| Estudiantes La Plata | 0.86 | 1.08 |
| Flamengo | 1.20 | 0.80 |

The two sides
Flamengo carry a model rating of 7.05 against 6.74 for Estudiantes La Plata. 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 1.96 goals for Flamengo and 0.67 for Estudiantes La Plata. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Flamengo rate 1.20 in attack and 0.80 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Estudiantes La Plata rate 0.86 and 1.08.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 2,045 correct results out of 4,236 settled predictions (48%), with 427 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.
Full method: how the model works.

Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window.

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.
