Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Deportes Tolima carry a model rating of 6.54 against 6.63 for Millonarios. 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 1.20 goals for Deportes Tolima and 1.02 for Millonarios. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Deportes Tolima rate 0.67 in attack and 1.26 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Millonarios rate 0.80 and 1.24.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Millonarios, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,192 correct results out of 4,558 settled predictions (48%), with 452 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.

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 Deportes Tolima the highest probability at 38%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.20 expected goals for Deportes Tolima against 1.02 for Millonarios. Deportes Tolima's attack/defence rating is 0.67/1.26 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.8/1.24 for Millonarios.

How the model reaches 38% for Deportes Tolima to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 35% for Deportes Tolima to win. Then home advantage adds 9 points, Deportes Tolima's ratings take away 15 points and Millonarios's ratings add 9 points, which lands on the published 38%.

  1. Two average sides, neutral ground35%
  2. Home advantage44%+9
  3. Deportes Tolima's ratings29%−15
  4. Millonarios's ratings38%+9

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.
