Leading scorers: Fluminense and Palmeiras

Fluminense

No player in CONMEBOL Libertadores's leading scorers — 7 league goals as a side.

Palmeiras

  • J. López3 goals4 assists
  • J. Arias3 goals2 assists

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

The two sides

Fluminense carry a model rating of 6.82 against 7.02 for Palmeiras. 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 1.13 goals for Fluminense and 1.07 for Palmeiras. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Fluminense rate 1.00 in attack and 1.07 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Palmeiras rate 1.03 and 0.75.

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.

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.

Fluminense's attack/defence rating is 1/1.07 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.03/0.75 for Palmeiras.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute

All Serie A matches this season: Fluminense 28, Palmeiras 28.

Fluminense scored 2787515
Palmeiras conceded 215636

Fluminense score most often in the 76–90 minute window (15 goals); Palmeiras have let in 6 there.

Palmeiras scored 797797
Fluminense conceded 6156810

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.

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.
