From our Primera A 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.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

America de Cali carry a model rating of 6.69 against 6.71 for Deportivo Cali. 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.

The model expects a tight, low-scoring game

Under the hood the model expects 1.14 goals for America de Cali and 0.80 for Deportivo Cali. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

America de Cali rate 0.81 in attack and 1.12 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Deportivo Cali rate 0.70 and 0.97.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives America de Cali a 30.4% chance of the title and Deportivo Cali 10.8%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,309 correct results out of 4,819 settled predictions (48%), with 476 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.

How the model reaches 41% for America de Cali to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 35% for America de Cali to win. Then home advantage adds 9 points, America de Cali's ratings take away 8 points and Deportivo Cali's ratings add 5 points, which lands on the published 41%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground35%
  2. Home advantage44%+9
  3. America de Cali's ratings36%−8
  4. Deportivo Cali's ratings41%+5

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.
