Has the model earned this number?

It puts Inter at 51% here. Across 2,959 settled matches (as of 3 October 2026), 691 forecasts have landed in the 50–65% band; those outcomes actually happened 53.5% of the time, against an average forecast of 55.4%. 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.

What these results say

Up to 5 matches before kick-off, most recent first. The model rates each side on its goals over this season and last, adjusted for the opposition, rather than on these results alone, so read them as context — how the ratings are built.

Leading scorers: Bologna and Inter

Bologna

No player in Serie A's leading scorers — 3 league goals as a side.

Inter

  • Lautaro Martínez4 goals
  • M. Thuram2 goals2 assists
  • F. Esposito2 goals1 assist

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

The two sides

Bologna carry a model rating of 6.83 against 7.26 for Inter. 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.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.00 goals for Bologna and 2.11 for Inter. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Bologna rate 0.87 in attack and 0.92 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Inter rate 1.82 and 0.83.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,381 correct results out of 2,964 settled predictions (47%), with 285 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.

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 Inter the highest probability at 51%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.00 expected goals for Bologna against 2.11 for Inter. Bologna's attack/defence rating is 0.87/0.92 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.82/0.83 for Inter.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute

All Serie A matches this season: Bologna 5, Inter 5.

Bologna scored 100100
Inter conceded 221201
Inter scored 211523
Bologna conceded 010212

Inter score most often in the 46–60 minute window (5 goals); Bologna have let in 2 there.

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. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.

Each side's next matches on our board after this one. The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
