Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Internacional de Bogota carry a model rating of 6.36 against 6.51 for Once Caldas. 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 1.32 goals for Internacional de Bogota and 1.26 for Once Caldas. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Internacional de Bogota rate 0.66 in attack and 1.78 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Once Caldas rate 0.70 and 1.38.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Once Caldas, 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.

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Internacional de Bogota a 0% chance of the title and Once Caldas 0.1%, from 10000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1314 correct results out of 2813 settled predictions (47%), with 270 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.
