Each cell is one exact result, shaded against the likeliest one; figures below 1% are left blank rather than rounded to zero. Blue cells are Defensa Y Justicia wins, grey are draws, red are San Lorenzo wins — the three shaded areas ARE the 1/X/2 split above, which is the sum of the cells in each. The most likely scoreline is simply the darkest cell inside whichever area the model favours.

Leading scorers: Defensa Y Justicia and San Lorenzo

Defensa Y Justicia

No player in Liga Profesional Argentina's leading scorers — 13 league goals as a side.

San Lorenzo

  • R. Auzmendi6 goals

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Defensa Y Justicia carry a model rating of 6.66 against 6.64 for San Lorenzo. 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.

A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.

What the model expects

Under the hood the model expects 1.38 goals for Defensa Y Justicia and 0.96 for San Lorenzo. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Defensa Y Justicia rate 0.79 in attack and 1.16 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; San Lorenzo rate 0.69 and 1.07.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Defensa Y Justicia a 8.6% chance of the title and San Lorenzo 0.5%, from 10000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1202 correct results out of 2555 settled predictions (47%), with 242 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.
