A clear gap in the ratings
Ponte Preta carry a model rating of 5.79 against 6.56 for Juventude. 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 0.72 goals for Ponte Preta and 2.49 for Juventude. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Ponte Preta rate 0.33 in attack and 2.75 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Juventude rate 0.75 and 1.35.
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Ponte Preta a 0% chance of the title and Juventude 39.5%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1,381 correct results out of 2,964 settled predictions (47%), with 285 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.
Full method: how the model works.
From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.
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 Juventude the highest probability at 61%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 0.72 expected goals for Ponte Preta against 2.49 for Juventude. Ponte Preta's attack/defence rating is 0.33/2.75 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.75/1.35 for Juventude.

Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window.

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.
