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

Ceara carry a model rating of 6.31 against 6.06 for America Mineiro. 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 1.88 goals for Ceara and 0.83 for America Mineiro. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Ceara rate 0.59 in attack and 1.73 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; America Mineiro rate 0.40 and 1.96.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,309 correct results out of 4,819 settled predictions (48%), with 476 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

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 Ceara the highest probability at 57%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.88 expected goals for Ceara against 0.83 for America Mineiro. Ceara's attack/defence rating is 0.59/1.73 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.4/1.96 for America Mineiro.

How the model reaches 57% for Ceara to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Ceara to win. Then home advantage adds 8 points, Ceara's ratings take away 25 points and America Mineiro's ratings add 38 points, which lands on the published 57%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground36%
  2. Home advantage44%+8
  3. Ceara's ratings19%−25
  4. America Mineiro's ratings57%+38

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

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.

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.
