The two sides

River Plate carry a model rating of 6.74 against 6.28 for Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto. 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 1.86 goals for River Plate and 0.55 for Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

River Plate rate 0.99 in attack and 1.24 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto rate 0.48 and 1.53.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1344 correct results out of 2888 settled predictions (47%), with 275 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.
