Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Aucas carry a model rating of 6.51 against 6.62 for LDU de Quito. 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 1.16 goals for Aucas and 1.07 for LDU de Quito. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Aucas rate 0.65 in attack and 1.30 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; LDU de Quito rate 0.68 and 1.10.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,418 correct results out of 3,018 settled predictions (47%), with 294 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.

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.
