From our Segunda Liga 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.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Leixoes carry a model rating of 6.43 against 6.47 for Sporting CP B. 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 1.60 goals for Leixoes and 1.30 for Sporting CP B. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Leixoes rate 0.72 in attack and 1.68 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Sporting CP B rate 0.64 and 1.37.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Sporting CP B, 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 Leixoes a 2.5% chance of the title and Sporting CP B 8.8%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

Sporting CP B score most often in the 76–90 minute window (4 goals); Leixoes have let in 1 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. Context, not a prediction.

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.
