From our 3. 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.

The two sides

MSV Duisburg carry a model rating of 6.45 against 6.19 for Stuttgart II. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.43 goals for MSV Duisburg and 1.06 for Stuttgart II. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

MSV Duisburg rate 0.70 in attack and 1.57 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Stuttgart II rate 0.56 and 2.13.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives MSV Duisburg a 58.3% chance of the title and Stuttgart II 0.5%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,962 correct results out of 4,088 settled predictions (48%), with 410 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute

All 3. Liga matches this season: MSV Duisburg 9, Stuttgart II 10.

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.
