The two sides

Emmen carry a model rating of 6.24 against 6.49 for Almere City FC. 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 1.36 goals for Emmen and 1.66 for Almere City FC. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Emmen rate 0.59 in attack and 2.00 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Almere City FC rate 0.69 and 1.42.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Emmen a 1% chance of the title and Almere City FC 19.5%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,381 correct results out of 2,964 settled predictions (47%), with 285 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.

Statistical estimate, not betting advice This prediction is generated from a statistical model for entertainment and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcome and should not be used as the basis for placing a bet.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute

All Eerste Divisie matches this season: Emmen 8, Almere City FC 8.

Emmen scored 114552

Almere City FC score most often in the 76–90 minute window (8 goals); Emmen have let in 2 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.

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.
