Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Benevento carry a model rating of 6.6 against 6.53 for Avellino. 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 1.51 goals for Benevento and 1.03 for Avellino. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Benevento rate 0.74 in attack and 1.23 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Avellino rate 0.72 and 1.36.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Avellino, 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 Benevento a 3.2% chance of the title and Avellino 2%, 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.

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 Benevento the highest probability at 45%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.51 expected goals for Benevento against 1.03 for Avellino. Benevento's attack/defence rating is 0.74/1.23 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.72/1.36 for Avellino.

How the model reaches 45% for Benevento to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Benevento to win. Then home advantage adds 6 points, Benevento's ratings take away 13 points and Avellino's ratings add 16 points, which lands on the published 45%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground36%
  2. Home advantage42%+6
  3. Benevento's ratings29%−13
  4. Avellino's ratings45%+16

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