Has the model earned this number?

It puts Barcelona at 43% here. Across 2437 settled matches, 1092 forecasts have landed in the 40–50% band; those outcomes actually happened 44.3% of the time, against an average forecast of 43.8%. In this range the two line up, so the figure above can be read literally.

Every settled prediction on this site is scored against an uninformed baseline, band by band, and published whether or not it flatters the model — see the full record.

How the model saw it, minute by minute

Rebuilt after the match from the model's pre-match expected goals, frozen in the log before kick-off, plus the score and cards as they stood at each minute — never anything later. A ball marks each of the 6 goals. The same replay scores the in-play model on the track record.

Expected against actual

Pre-match the model expected 1.41 goals for Levante and 1.92 for Barcelona; the game produced 2 and 4.

A gap that size between expected and actual goals is normal in a single match — it is the reason we publish probabilities rather than predictions, and why the record below is measured over hundreds of games rather than one.

Goals

Scorers, in order: Xavi Espart 5' (Barcelona), Lamine Yamal 19' (Barcelona), Lamine Yamal 48' (Barcelona), Iván Romero 79' (Levante), Roger Brugué 88' (Levante), Karim Adeyemi 90' (Barcelona).

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1151 correct results out of 2437 settled predictions (47%), with 230 exact scorelines (9%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

Statistical estimate, not betting advice This prediction is generated from a statistical model for entertainment and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcome and should not be used as the basis for placing a bet.

Team comparison

Bars show each side's share of the two-team total, based on the model's attack/defence ratings and expected goals for this fixture.

Why the model favours this side

The model gives Barcelona the highest probability at 43%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.41 expected goals for Levante against 1.92 for Barcelona. Levante's attack/defence rating is 1.03/0.9 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.77/0.84 for Barcelona.
