The two sides

Bukovyna carry a model rating of 6.25 against 6.44 for Kolos Kovalivka. 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 1.15 goals for Bukovyna and 1.24 for Kolos Kovalivka. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Bukovyna rate 0.51 in attack and 1.69 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Kolos Kovalivka rate 0.61 and 1.39.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,204 correct results out of 4,575 settled predictions (48%), with 454 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.

How the model reaches 37% for Kolos Kovalivka to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Kolos Kovalivka to win. Then home advantage takes away 7 points, Bukovyna's ratings add 31 points and Kolos Kovalivka's ratings take away 23 points, which lands on the published 37%.

  2. Home advantage29%−7
  3. Bukovyna's ratings60%+31
  4. Kolos Kovalivka's ratings37%−23

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

Kolos Kovalivka score most often in the 76–90 minute window (4 goals); Bukovyna 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.
