The two sides
Bosnia & Herzegovina carry a model rating of 6.8 against 7.01 for Poland. 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 1.05 goals for Bosnia & Herzegovina and 1.50 for Poland. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Bosnia & Herzegovina rate 0.83 in attack and 0.93 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Poland rate 1.29 and 0.94.
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.
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 Poland the highest probability at 42%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.05 expected goals for Bosnia & Herzegovina against 1.50 for Poland. Bosnia & Herzegovina's attack/defence rating is 0.83/0.93 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.29/0.94 for Poland.
Uncalibrated. National-team ratings are anchored on the FIFA World Ranking, because these groups never play each other and nothing inside the results can compare them. The constants behind that anchor are declared, not fitted — too few national-team matches have been settled to test them — so treat this prediction as the weakest kind we publish.

Outer rings: how often each side's most recent internationals, friendlies included, before kick-off (up to 10 games; the count is under each ring) went over the line. Middle ring: the model's own probability for this match, from the same expected goals as the prediction above. Past matches are context; the middle ring is the estimate. Not betting advice.

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.
