From our Serie B season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Sampdoria carry a model rating of 6.37 against 6.51 for Virtus Entella. 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 1.15 goals for Sampdoria and 1.19 for Virtus Entella. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Sampdoria rate 0.58 in attack and 1.52 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Virtus Entella rate 0.67 and 1.32.
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Sampdoria a 0% chance of the title and Virtus Entella 0.6%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Serie B matches this season: Sampdoria 6, Virtus Entella 7.
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. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.

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.
