Has the model earned this number?

It puts Liverpool at 50% here. Across 2437 settled matches, 630 forecasts have landed in the 50–65% band; those outcomes actually happened 52.2% of the time, against an average forecast of 55.6%. 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.

Written before kick-off and left as it stood — the reading below is the model's pre-match case, not a view formed after the result.

The two sides

Liverpool carry a model rating of 7.08 against 6.86 for Fulham. 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 1.77 goals for Liverpool and 0.83 for Fulham. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Liverpool rate 1.22 in attack and 0.77 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Fulham rate 0.89 and 0.89.

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 Liverpool the highest probability at 50%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.77 expected goals for Liverpool against 0.83 for Fulham. Liverpool's attack/defence rating is 1.22/0.77 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.89/0.89 for Fulham.
