From our Liga MX 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

Atlante FC carry a model rating of 6.45 against 6.59 for Santos Laguna. 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 1.25 goals for Atlante FC and 1.26 for Santos Laguna. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Atlante FC rate 0.57 in attack and 1.29 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Santos Laguna rate 0.76 and 1.27.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Atlante FC a 0% chance of the title and Santos Laguna 0.1%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,192 correct results out of 4,558 settled predictions (48%), with 452 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

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 Santos Laguna the highest probability at 36%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.25 expected goals for Atlante FC against 1.26 for Santos Laguna. Atlante FC's attack/defence rating is 0.57/1.29 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.76/1.27 for Santos Laguna.

How the model reaches 36% for Santos Laguna to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 37% for Santos Laguna to win. Then home advantage takes away 8 points, Atlante FC's ratings add 20 points and Santos Laguna's ratings take away 13 points, which lands on the published 36%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground37%
  2. Home advantage29%−8
  3. Atlante FC's ratings49%+20
  4. Santos Laguna's ratings36%−13

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