No player in Division Profesional - Clausura's leading scorers — 17 league goals as a side.

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate

Rubio NU carry a model rating of 6.22 against 6.23 for Sportivo Luqueno. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.90 goals for Rubio NU and 1.41 for Sportivo Luqueno. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Rubio NU rate 0.54 in attack and 1.92 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Sportivo Luqueno rate 0.61 and 2.16.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Sportivo Luqueno, 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.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 2,309 correct results out of 4,819 settled predictions (48%), with 476 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

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.
