Two sides the ratings cannot separate

JS Saoura carry a model rating of 6.32 against 6.29 for CS Constantine. 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 1.63 goals for JS Saoura and 1.16 for CS Constantine. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

JS Saoura rate 0.49 in attack and 1.46 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; CS Constantine rate 0.66 and 2.05.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour CS Constantine, 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.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,776 correct results out of 3,725 settled predictions (48%), with 376 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 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.

A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
