Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Libertad Asuncion carry a model rating of 6.51 against 6.51 for Cerro Porteno. 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 1.62 goals for Libertad Asuncion and 1.19 for Cerro Porteno. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Libertad Asuncion rate 0.72 in attack and 1.41 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Cerro Porteno rate 0.70 and 1.38.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Libertad Asuncion a 9.6% chance of the title and Cerro Porteno 0.1%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
