The two sides

Guayaquil City FC carry a model rating of 6.4 against 6.59 for Libertad. 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 1.47 goals for Guayaquil City FC and 1.61 for Libertad. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Guayaquil City FC rate 0.70 in attack and 1.74 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Libertad rate 0.77 and 1.29.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,973 correct results out of 4,112 settled predictions (48%), with 412 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

Libertad score most often in the 76–90 minute window (11 goals); Guayaquil City FC 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.

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.
