Each cell is one exact result, shaded against the likeliest one; figures below 1% are left blank rather than rounded to zero. Blue cells are Belgium wins, grey are draws, red are Türkiye wins — the three shaded areas ARE the 1/X/2 split above, which is the sum of the cells in each. The most likely scoreline is simply the darkest cell inside whichever area the model favours.
Has the model earned this number?
It puts Belgium at 49% here. Across 2496 settled matches, 1127 forecasts have landed in the 40–50% band; those outcomes actually happened 44.4% of the time, against an average forecast of 43.8%. In this range the two line up, so the figure above can be read literally.
Every settled prediction on this site is scored against an uninformed baseline, band by band, and published whether or not it flatters the model — see the full record.
The two sides
Belgium carry a model rating of 7.3 against 7.07 for Türkiye. 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.
The model expects goals
Under the hood the model expects 2.09 goals for Belgium and 1.15 for Türkiye. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Belgium rate 1.50 in attack and 0.61 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Türkiye rate 1.51 and 1.03.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1178 correct results out of 2496 settled predictions (47%), with 236 exact scorelines (9%). 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.
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 Belgium the highest probability at 49%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 2.09 expected goals for Belgium against 1.15 for Türkiye. Belgium's attack/defence rating is 1.5/0.61 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.51/1.03 for Türkiye.
