Model insights: Chelsea vs Tottenham
Has the model earned this number?
It puts Chelsea at 53% here. Across 3,660 settled matches (as of 14 October 2026), 872 forecasts have landed in the 50–65% band; those outcomes actually happened 55.5% of the time, against an average forecast of 55.5%. 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.

From our Premier League season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

The two sides
Chelsea carry a model rating of 6.95 against 6.73 for Tottenham. 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 2.06 goals for Chelsea and 1.17 for Tottenham. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Chelsea rate 1.31 in attack and 1.11 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Tottenham rate 0.76 and 0.98.
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Chelsea a 0.2% chance of the title and Tottenham 0%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1,776 correct results out of 3,725 settled predictions (48%), with 376 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 Chelsea the highest probability at 53%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 2.06 expected goals for Chelsea against 1.17 for Tottenham. Chelsea's attack/defence rating is 1.31/1.11 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.76/0.98 for Tottenham.

Position by match
ChelseaTottenham
Chelsea are 5th after 6 Premier League matches (between 3rd and 7th so far); Tottenham are 18th after 6 (between 17th and 20th). Rebuilt from the season's results after each side's matches (x-axis: that side's match number); ties split on goal difference, then goals scored.
Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Premier League matches this season: Chelsea 6, Tottenham 6.
Chelsea score most often in the 0–15 minute window (7 goals); Tottenham have let in 1 there.
Tottenham score most often in the 76–90 minute window (3 goals); Chelsea have let in 3 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.
