From our Ligat Ha'al season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

A clear gap in the ratings

Hapoel Ramat Gan carry a model rating of 6.22 against 6.74 for Maccabi Tel Aviv. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.03 goals for Hapoel Ramat Gan and 2.60 for Maccabi Tel Aviv. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Hapoel Ramat Gan rate 0.50 in attack and 1.78 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Maccabi Tel Aviv rate 1.02 and 1.30.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Hapoel Ramat Gan a 0% chance of the title and Maccabi Tel Aviv 65.4%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

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.
