The two sides

CFR 1907 Cluj carry a model rating of 6.09 against 6.43 for FC Botosani. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.29 goals for CFR 1907 Cluj and 1.94 for FC Botosani. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

CFR 1907 Cluj rate 0.58 in attack and 2.78 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; FC Botosani rate 0.58 and 1.37.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives CFR 1907 Cluj a 0% chance of the title and FC Botosani 2.4%, from 10000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1151 correct results out of 2437 settled predictions (47%), with 230 exact scorelines (9%). 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.
