The two sides
Jong Ajax carry a model rating of 6.19 against 6.37 for VVV Venlo. 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 1.44 goals for Jong Ajax and 1.53 for VVV Venlo. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Jong Ajax rate 0.54 in attack and 2.02 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; VVV Venlo rate 0.63 and 1.64.
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Jong Ajax a 0% chance of the title and VVV Venlo 8.1%, 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.

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.
