Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Nafta carry a model rating of 6.39 against 6.51 for Olimpija Ljubljana. 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 1.17 goals for Nafta and 1.10 for Olimpija Ljubljana. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Nafta rate 0.57 in attack and 1.45 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Olimpija Ljubljana rate 0.63 and 1.26.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Olimpija Ljubljana, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Nafta a 1.5% chance of the title and Olimpija Ljubljana 5.6%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

  2. Home advantage44%+8
  3. Nafta's ratings22%−22

Each step adds one input to the step before. In another order the steps would differ in size; the end point would not.

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.
