Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Athletic Club MG carry a model rating of 6.32 against 6.44 for Atletico Goianiense. 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 1.34 goals for Athletic Club MG and 1.24 for Atletico Goianiense. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Athletic Club MG rate 0.60 in attack and 1.72 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Atletico Goianiense rate 0.60 and 1.37.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Atletico Goianiense, 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.

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.

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 Athletic Club MG the highest probability at 37%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.34 expected goals for Athletic Club MG against 1.24 for Atletico Goianiense. Athletic Club MG's attack/defence rating is 0.6/1.72 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.6/1.37 for Atletico Goianiense.

How the model reaches 37% for Athletic Club MG to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Athletic Club MG to win. Then home advantage adds 8 points, Athletic Club MG's ratings take away 25 points and Atletico Goianiense's ratings add 18 points, which lands on the published 37%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground36%
  2. Home advantage44%+8
  3. Athletic Club MG's ratings19%−25
  4. Atletico Goianiense's ratings37%+18

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

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.
