Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Arka Gdynia carry a model rating of 6.44 against 6.3 for Polonia Warszawa. 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 1.94 goals for Arka Gdynia and 1.08 for Polonia Warszawa. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Arka Gdynia rate 0.66 in attack and 1.50 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Polonia Warszawa rate 0.60 and 1.81.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Polonia Warszawa, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Arka Gdynia a 8.4% chance of the title and Polonia Warszawa 2.1%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,381 correct results out of 2,964 settled predictions (47%), with 285 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.

Polonia Warszawa score most often in the 76–90 minute window (5 goals); Arka Gdynia have let in 3 there.

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. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it.

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.
