Has the model earned this number?

It puts Nacional Asuncion at 69% here. Across 3,660 settled matches (as of 14 October 2026), 307 forecasts have landed in the 65–100% band; those outcomes actually happened 62.2% of the time, against an average forecast of 74.2%. In this range the model is over-confident, so read the figure above as optimistic rather than literal.

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

Nacional Asuncion98%Draw2%Deportivo Recoleta0%

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 1 goal, and a card each of the 2 sendings-off. The same replay scores the in-play model on the track record.

Goals against chances

Nacional Asuncion1 from 2.26 xGless than the chances were worth
Deportivo Recoleta0 from 0.91 xGless than the chances were worth

Expected goals totals what the openings were worth, so the gap between it and the score is the finishing — and the luck. Under half a goal either way is called level: xG is an estimate and a smaller gap than that is inside its own error.

Expected against actual

Pre-match the model expected 2.40 goals for Nacional Asuncion and 0.69 for Deportivo Recoleta; the game produced 1 and 0.

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: Leandro Meza 56' (Nacional Asuncion).

How this was produced
